In an interesting twist, the US District Court for the Northern District of California has approved Sony’s requested for a temporary restraining order against Geohot and company. This prevents them from distributing or linking to the PS3 jailbreak; helping or encouraging others to jailbreak; hacking into the PS3 or PSN, or distributing any information they’ve found while hacking.
In addition they now also have to give Sony’s lawyers any computers or storage media used to create the jailbreak. It’s just a pity it’s now widely available across the Internet.

i have three words for him: Serves you right.
Because of him, some games are unplayable due to his hacking. I hope he gets banned from using anything with an online connection. Now if every company that had their products hacked by him sued him then he would be in massive trouble.

Its not his fault, Sony and game developers should have been prepared seeing as every other console, OS is hacked and allows piracy on computers and consoles, iOS/Android, what makes the PS3 special? Nothing.

What are you five?
Yes, it’s his ‘fault’ in the exact sense that he intentionally dismantled the PS3 security and then made it public. It couldn’t be more his ‘fault’ if he were handing leaflets on piracy out to people on the sidewalk.
I bet you have a laundry list of excuses for why you pirate right?

They want him to remove all his information from the internet. That should be easy for him to do…

Too late, it’s already spread everywhere. At least it’s something though.
