Hooray though, the big company took someone to trial for something that wasn't illegal and got him to sign a paper to not touch their products because he didn't want to be in a protracted legal battle with a multinational corproation. If you actually think that's a good thing... I don't even know where one would start. |
I do think it's a good thing for Sony. He can't outright Jailbreak any of their forseeable products without facing legitimate consequences. He obviously is intelligent enough to Jailbreak just about anything, so atleast on a security side it's a minor sense of security.
Why not get into a protracted legal battle with Sony? If he is completely in the right and has nothing to fear? Why not? A few court dates?
Sony could have made things a lot more uncomfortable for him. The point was they didn't want him cracking their products and releasing trade secrets to the public (Who isn't at his level). That's why Sony took him to court. That is what they set out to accomplish and they ultimately reached that goal.
People who hate Sony will still hate Sony after that, most logical types will realize this happens constantly with large corporations in a variety of manners it's not a big deal and never was.
