Settlement in George Hotz Case

[Maedhros]

It's not like the hacking scene is over, only that Geohot can't touch SCEA products anymore.

OH NOES, TEH IMPLECATIONS AND TEH CONSOOMER RITES!? WAT WILL HAPPENZ!?

Bullshit, nothing happened.

 

[MelodieOctavia]

No legal precedent was set. Egohot got boned, but he's not the only hardware hacker wizard on the planet, and someone WILL take his place. Let's just hope whoever is next in line will have a bit smaller of an ego.

Life goes on. We ARE back to square one, because Sony knew that if Ego had the balls to continue, they would ultimately lose. A settlement is better than a loss because a legal precedent would have been set to allow this kind of thing in the future.

Well, at least he can now spent time hacking the 3DS

Oh well..

 

[Hop2089]

He should go back to mobiles only anyway. Then there's the 3DS, he's got options, now he has to move on preferably by choosing either of these options.

Yes you are right, good things come to those who wait. Anything man made will be broken by another man.

...drat. We lost...

 

[P-CHYLD]

...drat. We lost...

We didn't lose anything. He lost.

Software and Hardware can be secured up to 100%. Then nobody would be able to hack shit.

Security is only as good as a HUMAN can make it.

maybe we lost a fighter, but they can be replaced

If this is true, then why isn't anything bulletproof.
Anything man made will be broken by another man. Trust me.

MicroSoft
$ony
Apple
the lists goes on.

 

[MelodieOctavia]

If you make something 100% bulletproof, someone will invent a bigger and better bullet. It's a cycle that cannot be broken.

 

[TheDarkSeed]

Complete and utter pointlessness. I'm sure this case leaves many grey areas to be charted.

It leaves ALL grey ares to be charted. Nothing has changed. No legal precedent was set. No one won in a legal sense. Though, we can clearly see that in a practical sense, Geohot was bent over the bench and violated without any lube.

 

[Maedhros]

Don't worry guys, your piracy is not prejudiced by this...

Did I said piracy? Sorry, wanted to say homebrews.

 

[Hop2089]

...drat. We lost...

Nothing of value was lost and Geohot can hack something else like phones or the 3DS, if you think it's the end of him you're sorely mistaken, it is just end of him hacking Sony hardware.

 

[P-CHYLD]

If you make something 100% bulletproof, someone will invent a bigger and better bullet. It's a cycle that cannot be broken.

You talk with intelligence, I respect you for that. I agree with everything you saying. No machine, no device or what ever people think is unbreakable, please believe its breakable.

 

[TheDarkSeed]

So they've reached a stalemate. The only thing left for sony to do is fortify their mind fucking ToS and wait for another person to further "circumvent' their system.

Word.

All of that money he raised was for nothing. Viva Sony, viva america!
