“This is about a lot more than me.”
George Hotz, aka, Geohot, the man who hacked the PlayStation 3, has defended his actions, describing Sony’s high profile lawsuit against him as “about a lot more than what I did and me”.
This week Sony sued Hotz and the Fail0verflow hacker group, asking a Californian court to block him from publishing his Jailbreak code on his website.
The Jailbreak code, Sony alleges, infringes areas of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and accuses Hotz of being directly responsible for enabling piracy on the PS3.
