So i'm talking from my ass... but even so the Judge is still to decide where is the right jurisdiction... maybe the judge don't know anything about law also.

They haven't had the Jurisdiction hearing yet.

Sony is looking for a shitload of discovery to try and prove that Hotz has connections in Califronia or a PSN ID to prove it belongs there.

As it is, the case is expected to be dismissed.

Expected is different than granted. And if I'm talking from my ass (how polite) then the judge could immeadtly denny subpoena and all measures to prove venue, as he can't give that...

So maybe you should be the judge of the case since you are more unbiased and knwlodgeable than all of them and us.

Actually, he could have denied it, but didn't.  He decided to allow Sony to try and tie him to California, largely because if he had a PSN account he would have agreed to be tried there and a lot of people have PSN accounts.

Your suggesting Sony could of decided to charge him in Burssels if he feels like, which is stupid... because they can't.

It's unethical for them to charge him where they are charging him, because they could charge him in NJ just fine, and have no basis for charging him where they are, except they feel like it because they are there, and there are enough other people who own a PS3 for them to go on a fishing expeditition to waste time and money.

They are afterall charging him with a federal crime.  What state it's in shouldn't matter to them.

 

Not to mention the whole, spending millions of dollars to pursue one kid.
