| Grimes said: I don't think for a second that Sony's only objective was to stop one guy from hacking. They wanted to prevent set precedent where if you hack, you will be punished. The problem with this settlement is that nobody got punished, unless you consider not using Sony products a punishment. I guess that's pushishment or a blessing depending on how you look at it. But this case will do nothing to stop people from hacking in the future, so IMO the case is a loss for Sony. |
s far as i can tell he is still free to use sony products. I dont know where people are getting the he is banned from them. He is boycotting them on choice I believe. He barred from hacking them and posting on the net/distributing hacks.
Sony did not win
Geohot did not win
Consumers did not win
Nothing has changed really. Until the next case comes up it may or may not be legal to hack your own console.
