Latest on the Sony-GeoHot PS3 Jail Break Case. Youtube, Twitter and Google to reveal user details.

The Geohot-Sony legal battle in really turning up the heat now. First let me give you an idea about what the case is about.

In late january this year, Sony filed a lawsuit against George Hotz a.k.a GeoHot for hacking his PS3 and posting "The Master Key" online. The Master Key allows anyone to run unofficial software on their consoles. GeoHot allegedly bypassed all security measures on the PS3 and even made them public. According to Sony, this is copy right infringement and violates the agreement between the user and Sony.
Sony has actually taken legal action against American citizen GeoHot and around 100 members of a hacking group known as fail0verflow.

GeoHot had even asked for help from people on the internet to help him get out of this mess. He does not have the resources to hire as many lawers as Sony has, which is 5. So he had asked people to donate money as much as they could afford to support his case.

Now, in a latest verdict by a California Court, it has ordered Youtube, Twitter and Google Blogspot to give Sony details about users who had seen the video on youtube and commented, who had tweeted on Hotz account and Google to reveal details of people who commented on his blog.

Now thats big news. This basically means that Sony is invading peoples privacy. Next time you watch and comment on some video on Youtube, you should think twice.

Meanwhile GeoHot took a pot-shot at Sony by releasing a YouTube video where he's rapping about all whats going on. Do watch it.

This is great news for iOS and Android users, but then why would anybody now buy a BlackBerry device. People buy BlackBerry phones because of the BBM chat which is really useful.

The general sense is that Android or iOS users will get a stripped down version of BBM. They may have to pay a certain fees for it.
