"One is to prove the “defendant’s distribution” of the hack. The other involves a jurisdictional argument over whether Sony must sue Hotz in his home state of New Jersey rather than in San Francisco, which Sony would prefer. Sony said the server logs would demonstrate that many of those who downloaded Hotz’s hack reside in Northern California — thus making San Francisco a proper venue for the case."

quoting you so that hopefully more people read this, people need to chill out and take the time to understand the cirmustances before freaking out needlessly.

It'd been better if he'd quoted the paragraph before it.
"Sony told Spero, a San Francisco magistrate, that it needed the information for at least two reasons."
As in. Those aren't the only two reasons. Those are just the two reasons they gave to get the info.
They very well could sue everyone who downloaded the hack if they felt like it.
Despite what others have said, sony does have power to sue anyone's information who they got from the IP searches. See the above Groklaw post.
