Judge Grants Sony TRO vs. Geohot.

The judge has granted the Temporary Restraining Order against Geohot, meaning all his hardware just got impounded. Poor Geohot just lost the tools he uses to make a living, as well those he uses to unlock our devices in the name of open source/homebrew.

This times well with 3.56 which blacklists all known CFWs etc (and bricks unless you downgrade to 3.55 OFW before upgrading apparently). KaKaRoTo has been quick to update the ps3utils and ps3tools, hopefully this will help to prove that Sony's court case to seek enjoinment is futile!

I haven't had time to read the latest court papers, but as far as I know there is to be a further hearing over the question of jurisdiction (Sony want to trial Geohot in California because its their home in US?).

I dont think he makes a living hacking! :)

But that's sad man I thought he'd win! :evil:

Well we still have the case but this doesn't look good!

He has legal employment coding for two legitimate projects, he doesn't get to keep any computers for work, and of course he doesn't make a living out of hacking!

Im still leaning over to Sony's side on this, though losing all his computers and stuff is a bit too much.inb4flaming
