Misread that, thought it was defenadts distribution based on where it was distibuted.

Partly because that's a completely stupid arguement.  Sony doesn't need that information to prove that.  Sony knows exactly how many consoles have been cracked then have been hooked up to the interent, and if just downloading the crack wouldn't be enough to get a supeona, it certaintly wouldn't be enough to prove a hack was used.

If the judge knew anything about PS3, they'd know that reason holds no merit.

Even if you forget that the majority of modified console arent ban, you still cannot use this information against Geohot. It doesnt prove they used the Geohot hack neither if they downloaded it from him. While your right on the account that downloading an hack is not enough to charge someone of piracy (I said it myself in an earlier post) its enough to prove the scale of the distribution made by Geohot.

Except, it isn't.  People may have downloaded it, but you can't actually prove they did anything with it.  It would actually be fairly easy to argue "prove that they used it."

Please re-read my post, especially whats underline. Prof00 last post sums it up pretty well too.

The scale of distribution is completely immatieral.  Unless sony wanted to use it to prove how much geohot would have to pay them if he loses.  Which again, you would need to prove how many of those people hacked their constoles.
