Hmm, so a 21 year old takes on a huge corporation for rights that apply to all of us, he holds Sony to basically a stalemate, and then donates any left over money to a good cause, and still the little pissants on here think they are better than him.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but none of you would have the balls to take on a corporation even if you know they are wrong.  You'd just crawl into a corner and wet yourselves.

Geohot didn't take on Sony.  Sony sued Geohot.  Geohot gave into Sony's demands so Geohot had legal funds left over.  It's that simple.  What comic book were you reading?

He took on Sony by releasing information on the hack despite their threats.  What demands did he give into exactly?  He didn't admit doing anything wrong and it was never proven that he commited a crime.  You really think Sony got what they wanted by getting Geohot to promise to "pretty please, don't do it again".  And he was certainly under no obligation to give any of the money to anyone, so how is it "that" simple?

Someone is blinded by company loyalty.  Yikes.
