No he didn't... and the case went the way it did because Sony knew they were going to lose.
Again, he reverse engineered it. This is legal.
He did Reverse engineer it (Which is legal) he did however release their Trade secret keys to other people with the intent of causing harm however. There is definitely an area of grey there.
Your trying to stretch things to definitions that do not fit... and clearly do not fit. Those only count if he breaks into Sony to do so or tries hacking into their mainframes.
Not at all, your changing your story as you go. First, you say that he has to be an 'employee' to have a trade secret, now since you realized you pulled that out of your ass, he reverse engineered it. By releasing those Keys to the public, he incriminated himself.
Sony GAVE him the keys with his system. He just reverse engineered the system to look at them.
One way you can tell this is.... Sony's lawsuit does not mention trade secrets.
It doesn't matter if Sony gave him the keys with his system, any piece of technology has all the material needed to recreate it (Contained within it). The keys were not public knowledge and were absolutely trade secrets.
So they would of been left with one charge... where the only ruling ever... was against them... and it would of been in New Jersey rather then California... where judges and politicians tend to get a bit more political money from software companies... what silicon valley and all.
So because of your assumption of bias in California vs New Jersey, you think Sony stopped the case? Give it a rest. Stop throwing shit on the wall and watching if it sticks.
Sony didn't have anything to get from Geohot, you know it, they know it and we all know it. Getting him away from their consoles and products is what they were seeking. They have lawyers on payroll for this very reason.
