While full details of the settlement are not yet available, it’s hard to parse this as anything but a win for Hotz, who simply has to refrain from publishing information that is already broadly reproduced elsewhere on the internet. Sony, by not going to court, does not have to risk a protracted and ugly trial against a customer.

Good to see sheep are alive and kicking – “lets boycott Sony” haha!!
Your FREEWILL to buy whatever product you want is now hindered by a blind and unfounded hatred for a company that has personally dont nothing wrong to you!
And they say corporations and governments brainwash people.. I laugh, I really do.
