“Here, I find probable cause that your client has got these things on his computer,” she said
Did they get the most illiterate judge in the whole of America? What "things" is she talking about? Considering most of the time judges and lawyers alike waffle on and talk in 10 syllable words when a 3 syllable word suffice I would find it almost embarrassing to even mention the word "things".
"I’ll make sure the order is and will be that Sony is only entitled to isolate … the information on the computer that relates to the hacking of the PlayStation.”
So if he had child porn they would ignore it? :blink:
When Corporate goons get caught stealing millions they get a slap on the wrist or a little time in a Country Club priison. But you or I steal a loaf of bread or smoke some pot and we're screwed. It just goes to show how unbalanced our Judicial System is.
I started my own ban on Sony soon after the music CD rootkit fiasco so I do not own a Play Station 3 and never will. There you go, Sony trashes thousands of PC's with their rootkit and gets a slap on the wrist and told to stop it. This poor shmoe wants to put linux on his machine and he's going to do time, you watch. It's not his fault Sony is stupid when it comes to security. It is his fault for going public with his findings though. Hackers are a little too proud of their skills and bragging can get you in trouble.
I agree that Sony products suck, everything is proprietary. You know its bad when you buy a Sony digital camera and you have to purchase a Memory stick that they designed or a Battery that only fits a certain model.
They couldnt use the standards like SD or XD like everyone else.
Screw the Play Station, I would never own/buy one either (or any Sony product for that matter).
Xbox 360, LG TV, Canon Cam and Samsung Fridge loaded with Beer... Good enough for me..
Hope this guy Hotz has a good Lawyer and I hope he gets out of it but Sony is huge and has a ton of cash behind them..
They are probably more pissed that a 21 year old beat down their security that they have years and thousands of hours into...
Sony had 4 years to perfect it and this kid probably hacked it in 2 weeks, they should make him CEO......
im pretty sure that his PC is already reformated :dabs:
what PC he did all that hacking from his TI-83.
