Sony will identify visitors to “hacking” pages

In their struggle to root out  the hackers activity around the consoles,in this case the  piracy of the PlayStation, Sony launched a campaign of harassment and demolition not only against the hackers, but also against users who use “their services “.The company did not hesitate to start a legal battle that so far, seems to lean in their favor.
U.S. Federal Judge Joseph Spero has approved the request to subpoena  a number of sites like  GeoHot page, sites like YouTube, Google and Twitter, to identify anyone who has accessed, discussed or seen information related to hacking. Sony needs this information to provide evidence at the trial that will be held in San Francisco,where the  company will claim the violation of  its terms, an assumption that was previously rejected by another magistrate claiming that under these terms of use, “the entire universe would be subject to their jurisdiction. ”
The company requires all  IP address logs, private account information and forms, as well as “any other identifying information coresponding  to persons  or computers who have  accessed or downloaded files hosted using their service and web sites associated with  “www.geohot.com “, which means that  any visitor of the page is subject to involvement in this case.
In addition, all users who have seen videos about  hacking and the PS3 are likely to be found on the “black list”regardless of why they saw that video or if they made use of the information. Sony’s position against hacking contrasts with Microsoft, which finally surrendered to the enemy after the release of Kinect and decided to join him in preparing a programming kit for developers.
