GeoHot asks for donations to fight Sony’s PS3 hacking lawsuit

Cool Stories Bros...

It would be nice if all these people arguing over whos right and whos wrong and my opinion means more than your opinion could just be deleted and the actual comments with constructive criticism could be left. That way you don't have to read through the Bulls**t that just brings down the community in such a bad way.

Personally I feel that whats going on with Geo is way blown out of proportion, but its still wrong. Sony is protecting not only their intellectual property but its community as well (I know its hard for some people to see this) And please stop throwing the idea the its for "Homebrew" applications, look what happened to the PSP, it got cracked and people download and play games for free. The same thing will happen on the PS3 no matter what anyone says. Thats what Sony is afraid of and until they release their next generation console they need to keep the PS3 as secure as possible. So Mr. Geo, as good your intentions may have been, Sony is just doing what they have to and for that I support them. Good Luck.

4th - I see a lot of hypocrite, well SONY, like any other big business is E.V.I.L,..
I think it's pretty evil to sue someone over few lines of base16, threaten everyone posting the said strings and trying to force Google to hand over the private information of those persons.

That's not evil, that's sheer panic. They just saw millions of dollars get ripped from their hands by some braggart. If I was Sony's CEO I'd sue and try to scare off those who weren't technically-oriented too.

George Hot is getting what he deserves. I feel like buying some PS3 games just to give money to Sony so *they* can hire even better lawyers and pummel this doofus.
 
What about them tweeting their security code "accidentally" they just want to suppress a guy with no money power that's all to it, when code comes out from their own side there's nothing to it.
 
if i pay for it, ITS MINE, got it?! way it goes! you people and your ip commercializing the once vast unexplored vista of the internet and gaming and ruining it, you should be ashamed. dont like the fact that people are fighting this ruin, then you can get out. go back to the stone age.
