George Hotz, the guy who hacked the PS3, must turn over his hard drives to the Sony legal team. Though Hotz had objected to turning over any drives to Sony as part of the restraining order, the judge in the case said "...It's a problem when more than one thing is kept on the computer.�I'll make sure the order is and will be that Sony is only entitled to isolate ? the information on the computer that relates to the hacking of the PlayStation."�
Though the judge is aiming to keep the scope of investigation to only the information on hacking the PlayStation, Hotz's lawyer objected on the grounds that Sony would be able to "observe? the contents of not only personal files, but all his client?s files.�
The judge's response: "That's the breaks."
The information about how to jailbreak the PS3 was removed by Hotz earlier this month in compliance with earlier judge's orders. The judge backed off of one of these earlier orders that�Hotz ?retrieve? the code from anybody who he may have forwarded it to.�?It?s information. It can?t be retrieved. It?s just not practical, what would they do, Xerox it and mail it back? ?
Meanwhile, Sony is threatening to sue�anybody posting the code.�Sony?s attorney said they have sent out an undisclosed number of DMCA ?takedown? notices to websites demanding the code?s removal.
At a hearing scheduled for next month, Sony will ask the judge to order Google to surrender IP addresses��and other identifying information of anyone who viewed or commented on the jailbreak video on Hotz?s YouTube page, and Twitter provide the identities of a host of hackers who first unveiled an early version of the hack.�
Sony is seeking unspecified damages.
