after reading the settlement:

Sony: Either follow these rules or WE WILL BURY YOU!!!!

Geohot: O-O-Okay....*checks pants*

/thread

why didnt they just bury him?  He had already committed the "crime"...  

If their case was watertight there is no way they would have compromised...  why would they?  for what?

you can ask the same Q other wway too..no one put a gun on hotz's head and ask him to settle. Sony wanted him to back off from the begining and that's exactly what they got now. If he messes with anything sony again he will be fined from 10k to 200k or something. Why should sony bother any furthure? The so called freedom fighter now and forever will be ridden of from sony products, sending him to jail could have lead to bad publicity. The message from this outcome is clear, hotz backed down ONLY cuz he knew he can't win this one, if you think otherwise you're being silly, hotz would have not stopped till the court ruled against sony. not like he wouldn't have money since people seem to be willing to pay for the court (and who knows maybe even his vacation :) I don't trust his word)
