1/ aha

2/ out of curiosity then ? LOL

not out of curiosity. If geohotz has had enough contact via twitter, youtube, etc with people from California, then Sony can establish that he had targeted Cali, (which makes sense being one of the biggest tech states, and a central operating area for Sony in the USA) and get a Californian court to rule on it, as opposed to Geohotz' homestate of New Jersey.

One of the primary reasons is that a lot of internet jurisdiction and court case involving technology is handled in California, and they have a lot of experience with past cases and rulings that they will most likely rule in favor of Sony, which they rightly should.

No its because of the amount of cases they have heard its because they know that CA judges are more willing to bend the law/create new law through interpretation where in New Jersey it would probably get tried like it should. This can already be seen in how the judge gave sony access to the ip's in the first place. On the plus side it gives hope the supreme court will rule against it. CA is a joke of a state.
