\'Geohot\' Hotz has finally come to a close. Sony today announced that it and Hotz have
settled the deal out of court, with Hotz promising he won\'t

What a joke. With everything Sony ripped from the PS3, could anyone even have the sense to solicit another to get one. This big court case concluded accepting the word from a pirate. Ya he wont jailbreak it but it's not like Sony will have cops around him watching him. He could easily tell others how to do it. This whole thing and even more is so fucking stupid.

There are undisclosed details about the case, so you can't assume anything, Tom. Hotz's lawyer probably told him to agree to Sony's offer, either because of the apparent threat of jail time or some monetary/future career offer. Unless all those internet psycho posts were just for show and he's actually a pussy...

"This big court case concluded accepting the word from a pirate."

yeah whats up with that.. lets get every 'pirate' through the clowning circus act that is the racketeering corruption scumCourts. Those that run and work for that system aren't at all the real fucking pirates that masquerad around on their flawed criminal and corrupt moral highground!

"Ya he wont jailbreak it but it's not like Sony will have cops around him watching him. He could easily tell others how to do it."

The world people (cretins) have created is fucking stupid.. common sense or any other good virtue doesn't exist, and the police are fucking dumb drones used by corporate/government fascists to enforce their self serving benefiting policies.

"This whole thing and even more is so fucking stupid."

yes I can agree there, Sony obviously felt getting this fast tracked would be better for them! personally though I feel for Geohotz going through this retardation, but this entire sickening process would have been better dragged on. Sony would continue to get more flak along with retarded corporate shills supporting these disgusting actions.

Even though I have and still stand behind Sony in this case, it's pretty clear they would like to get this over as quickly as possible, and they even don't charge him for "economic losses", because they otherwise have an enemy without a face (Anon), It's a great sign that mass people action CAN have some effect on multinational's unethic behaviors. Not that it will change that much though, but even if it's a little....

"Even though I have and still stand behind Sony in this case"

You stand alongside corporate fascism.

Yep, I fully stand behind it. I don't want lowlife cheaters or hackers messing with my account when doing multiplayer games, if Sony would want to put any cheater/hacker behind bars, I'll still stand behind them.
I didn't buy a gaming console to run Linux on it, I bought it to play games and watch movies, and so far I still can. I run Linux myself on a PC. That's such a box with the latest hardware and up-to-date components, and even a keyboard, a system which is much more powerful these days to do these kind of things.

It pathetically apathetic degenerate retards like you Ozieo that are of problems in this world. Your viewpoints on what constitutes prison as punishment aren't balanced they are fucking stupid you moron.

The problem I have with companies such as sony is they fund political motivations and parties that support a free market with less government controls but want their cake so to speak too with being able to protect their IP at the same time. You cannot have it both ways if you want to protect your IP in this country (USA) then you must pay taxes as a company to this country as well as follow all regulations future and present.

The story itself I can't say that I'm familiar with it since I don't own a ps3 and the friends I have that do don't talk about otheros or anything. It would be interesting to see some of the real motivations for putting so much weight on this person as well as his real intentions on his.

"If you buy a closed source gaming console, and you start dumping all kinds of crap on it, and then EXPECT to keep on flooding the company's servers with it, and irritate more honest people, then YOU have a problem. "

Why the fuck are you talking about something completely different, what kind of fucking dumbass moronic drone are you that thinks a corporation can dictate how you use a piece of hardware you bought! Wake up dicky doh, they changed the fucking legal bullshit then pulled a fast one of changing firmware. Those who reverse engineering that bullshit have every fucking right to that as far as I'm concerned, gullible sycophant shit heads like you don't stand for any principle. And FYI I don't buy fucking closed consumer console shite with its closed fleeced market that is soley controlled by said corporation.

"Nobody forced you to buy a fucking gaming console to "enjoy" Linux in the first place. "

You moronic dumb fuck, they marketed and sold the fucking device with that option in the first place.. so just because mass of conned sumer pillocks don't bother with it doesn't mean those who could have done something useful with it won't be pissed off. Sony just didn't want people buying the console hardware soley for other computation purposes.

Fucking drones like you whining retards who can't play a game without thinking the game is being hacked or trying to take moral highground pirating are fucking pathetic. Far bigger issues than measly piracy that can be highlighted as to why games sales slump. Its just a greedy short sighted marketing ceo shill tactic to deflect attention away from the real reasons why games don't sell, when we all know they fucking do, the only ones who are ever hurt are the smaller developers and quite frankly they make more losses because of the unbalanced playing field and the cost requirements.

If you can find me ANY evidence of Sony writing anything about it on the console's package boxing, or even in the user manual, please post me a screenshot.
If not, shut the fuck up and get your whining with your friends in the HomebreW channels, I don't give a fuck about drones who do not understand a gaming console's objectives.

I "benefit" because I enjoy playing games on it. If you cannot do that, which is obvious with your paranoid, anti-social view on life, that's too bad for you, but I won't waste my sleep on your brabbling.
