sony already won the court case to impound his hard drive filled with information on all the clients who ave ever asked him to hack anything.

The only similar court case involved phone jailbreaking. It was deemed to be ok to jailbreak a phone because it was found that phone companies cannot have a monopoly on a phone outside of a contract. IE: If you buy an Iphone without the 2 year contract, you are allowed to have any phone company you want.

This is a completely different scenario.

Ok I like rap and all, but this is TRASH!!!!

But that doesn't mean he lost the court case.  All that happened is Sony is allowed to look to see if anything illegal has actually happened.  He hasn't been convicted of anything as far I as know.  Just because police get a warrant to search your house doesn't mean you've been convicted, they are just allowed to look. 

Also, if Sony finds anything that pertains to other hacks on other devices they can't do jack with it.  They can only search for stuff pertaining to them, no matter what other posters have said.  Plain-view law does not apply to hard drives.

Edit:  I could be wrong about whether he will be convicted of anything eventually but I just don't want it to happen because it will set a crappy precedent for the future. 

cue dramatic music

...and what if it was bill gates that hired him...

just having a laugh

Correct me if i'm wrong but by Sony investigating his hard drive doesn'tthat mean they know how he operates? Meaning for a future device they could make a clever way to work around how he cracked it before?

Geohotz don't wanna see this nigga in a freestyle battle !!!

His lawyers will appreciate this when integrity and this line "You’re fucking with the dude who got the keys to your safe" come into the courtroom.

I guess hes not going to play it as the inteligent young adult simply personalizing a product he owns. If the judge is already ordering the turning over of HD's and the ball is in Sony's cour,t character and the judges discretion go a long way and this is going to rub the judge the wrong way i think. Kid just dug out a couple more shovels full of his own grave for a few youtube hits. Gratz?

wait isn't that an admission of guilt? Correct me if i'm wrong but that sounds like a confession.

I would love to see him face off with him just for the lulz :P
