Submission + - PS3 hack case: Sony levels new TRO & seizure o (myce.com)
Wesociety writes: Sony's legal dispute with George Hotz ran its course, but the company's crackdown on hackers isn't relegated to one New Jersey man. Alexander Egorenkov, AKA graf_chokolo, has bore the brunt of Sony's litigation in Europe. In many ways, he's Hotz's twin. In others, he couldn't be more different. Hotz settled with SCEA, avoiding a protracted, costly legal battle. Egorenkov on the other hand finds himself yet embroiled with the corporation over his work on the PlayStation 3. New developments in the story might have any other defendant screaming "settlement," but not Egorenkov. Egorenkov stated today that he was just paid a second visit by Sony Europe and served another Temporary Restraining order, this time sans police.
