First of all I don't care if Geohotz's case, I have stated at the beganing I'm not going to touch on the subject of hacking or pirating illegal software.  My was always about corporate owned government,  Mega corporate are giving too much power to abuse the people.  In this case Sony have absolutely no right looking at other companies IP log, if someone break a law the Law enforcer will grant the right to look at any possbile evident.  What we have here is our Jurisdication giving a company right to look at stuff they have no right to.   


What exactly do you think Sony can do with this IP log beside proving how many person downloaded the hack and their internet provider location?

Stop changing the topic here, and Sony can do alot more than what you think with gaining access to these IPs.  If they can get away with this action then I'm pretty sure they'll want permission to look at ISP's ip log on suspecious IPs to support "Their Jurisdition".

No they cannot. 

They obtained this evidence for another case through this case.

The evidence they received must be applied for depending on the case they are pursuing. In this IP release, it was for the intent of using it for specific reasons laid out by the subpoena. They cannot use the IPs for any other reason except for what is LEGALLY ALLOWED, that being for 1) proving that geohot distributed code was received by others, 2) determining jurisdiction. 

If they want to use the IPs of youtubers and tweeters to make a case against those individuals themselves, they would have to apply for their use by subpoena AGAIN and state the reason why they need the IPs, or at least state why they want to use them. At that point in time, they would be denied use of them because it infringes on consumer rights and privacy.

Additionally, they cannot even create a case derived from info they received in the IPs. IE; they cannot look at the IPs and say, "we want to pursue action against these specific IPs because they are corporations and we have reason to believe x,y,z". The IPs themselves DO NOT EXIST according to the law, except for the purposes outlined in the IP subpoena case.

I don't mean to sound condescending, so if I do, then I apologize. But it's obvious you are just making up whatever you want in order to justify your sony-trolling.
