Submission + - Sony files lawsuit aginst Mr. George Hotz! (psx-scene.com)
Kayot writes: George Hotz or as he is known on the internet, Geohot has been served court papers. Shorty after Team fail0verflow discovered faults in the PS3's TPM's, Geohot and others figured out how to extract the long sought after holy grail encryption keys. Apparently Sony is not pleased and is very keen on defending their poorly defended system with the U.S. legal system. The basis is that Geohot released programs that allow the signing of homebrew which can be used to make PSN like games out of normal PS3 games. However Geohot has never supported any form of piracy and in fact has taken a constant stance against it. Leaving many to wonder, just what is Sony planning.
