Geohot Battles Back Against Sony

Posted by Soulskill on from the hacking-justice dept.

csaw.csaw writes "According to Ars Technica, 'Hotz is slamming Sony's arguments at every turn. Sony claims there is a PSN account that Hotz created? Well, the serial number is wrong and anyone could have made that account. The manuals contained information on how SCEA is located in California? The manuals were never opened.' Groklaw posted the latest court filing (PDF) as well as their own analysis, saying, 'All the over-the-top allegations, in short, that some journalists published last week after reading SCEA's filing are now answered ably, about blickmaniac, the Playstation Network, the California downloads, the serial number, SCEA's jurisdictional arguments, everything. I confess, this is getting exciting.'"

    Depends on how many ninjas the EFF can call on. A few magic mushrooms in Sony's lawyers' coffee and even the courts would have a hard time being sympathetic.

    Now, after Mr. Hotz's computer hard drives, and a graphing calculator have been impounded

    Surely that was inadequate---what if he counted on his fingers?

    There's only one case I know of (console to console compare) where Microsoft is still more evil than Sony.

    Specifically, it came in with Netflix (at least in Canada)

    On the PS3, Netflix is "free" from Sony's standpoint

    You must be using some strange definition of "evil" that I've never heard before.

    McDonald's in Canada offers free refills on pop. Wendy's does not.

    So I guess this makes Wendy's more "evil" with respect to pop-refilling than McDonalds?
