(from wikipedia)

Sony lawsuit On January 12 , 2011, Sony sued Mr. Hotz on 8000 counts for violation of the DMCA. In response, Carnegie Mellon University professor David S. Touretzky mirrored Hotz's writings and issued a statement confirming that Hotz's publication is within his right to free speech.

On January 27, 2011, Sony's request for a temporary restraining order (TRO) is granted by the US District Court for the Northern District of California. This forbids him from distributing the jailbreak, helping or encouraging others to jailbreak, and distributing information they've learned during the creation of the jailbreak. It also orders him to turn over computers and storage media used in the creation of the jailbreak to Sony's lawyers. Professor Touretzky's mirror was voluntarily censored following issue of the TRO, but Hotz's writings and software have been mirrored elsewhere.


NOTES
the reason why he hacked the ps3 is because he wanted acess to the OS but then sony removed it entirely.

he also jailbroke the iphone so he could record video.

the reason why sony can sue Geohot so easily is because the legalization of jailbreaking/homebrew apps only affects mobile phones.

if you don't know his real name is George Hotz

here is a video of Geohot talking about the jailbreak with G4 with almost all of the major details:

MY THOUGHTS:Sony is too crazy about it.geohot even tried to remove pirated games/videos but all sony sees is just a hacker.i think sony needs to chill the frigg down.
if i lived by in the usa i would be trying hard to get put on that jury just to b*tch at sony and choose geohot =Þ.
it's also part of sonys fault because all he wanted was too have OS
THANKYOU GUYS FOR READING THIS!
please dont flame because this has a lot of the details, its for people who don't know, and i spent like an hour making this because GEOHOT IS AWESOME and shouldn't be sent to jail or sued.

AL he does is take an invention and make it better, and shows everyone how to do it, he's a legend =D. He added recording to Iphone Y He added Homebrew to PS3 extremly easily for everyone Y
