I'm pretty sure the lawsuit is more of a symbolic gesture. Sony knows that the info is out there and they can't stop it.

Isn't this worse, after losing the practical part, to fail at the ideological one as well?

Not really- its gonna fuck Geohots life up for quite a bit which will probably make sony execs smile

Not if an advocates/rights group like the EFF takes over, which is pretty damn likely. It could actually be a good case to take on / reduce the scope of the DMCA, and set a lot of companies back in terms of infringing on fair use and consumer rights.
