Nothing.
Sony probably realized they couldn't win and were afraid of what a court ruling against them would do.
The hack is still out there.
And that's really it.
This accomplished nothing other then Sony trying to threaten people from doing legal things it didn't want them to do.
Maybe a hacker or two decides to not hack Sony products now?
Doubt it.
From the sound of it, the whole thing cost Hotz nothing, other then the fact that he can't distribute something that is already all over the internet.
Whole thing was a waste of time, and sony's money. Surprised Hotz didn't ride it out like he did with the Iphone though.
My guess is he was running low on legal funds and wasn't sure if he could get a second batch.
