Settlement in George Hotz Case


Recommended Posts

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that any violation of this Injunction

and Order by Hotz shall result in his payment of stipulated liquidated damages in the

amount of ten thousand dollars ($10,000) per violation at the election of SCEA or SCEA's

Affiliates.

 

So basically , if he ever does anything from A-F again.... he gets fined 10,000$??.... so hes of the hook for free now?? lol

impressive work by the legal team at sony, I would love to see the faces of the legal team at apple :giggle:

 

 

but in the end I don't think that other hackers would be afraid of sony now, Geo got fame and recognition and practically became a celebrity on the net, he did not go to jail, the only thing he had to give up on was hacking any other sony device.....his take on that would be "been there done that"

He couldn't go to jail because this was civil case, but he could've face massive penalties and Sony could've buried him under legal bills and paperwork by dragging the case for years. The settlement is more in favor of Hotz than Sony, could've been lot worse for him.

secretly :P

There's no such thing. He can start calling himself something other than Geohotz, but the amount of information Sony have been able to get via the courts ie IP address, Google and Bluehost records, he can't do sh*t secretly either. It can all be traced back. And he's too much of an attention wh*re to hack and then not gloat about it.
