Nobody can run! PS3 crack case may hit a large number of ordinary netizens

Sony recently launched an onslaught against PS3 cracking activities, will crack the hacker George Hoze (net name Geohot) sued court and confiscated its possessions, the new round of firepower may also hurt those ordinary netizens, just because they have visited the PS3 site and forum. According to U.S. media reports, San Francisco District Court judge has approved Sony's call for the past 26 months, anyone who has visited the Holtz release of information on the personal site of users. The move will be particularly directed at users in Northern California, as Sony is making every effort to turn the case's jurisdiction over to the Federal court, rather than the defendant, Holtz, in New Jersey.　　Once successful, it will have a significant impact on the nature and outcome of the case. Sony's subpoena requires coverage of Holtz's personal website geohot.com as well as his YouTube account, and even Holtz's accounts on tweet and Psx-scene.　　This means that all those who have visited these addresses and have posted them in tweet or forums are likely to receive subpoenas from the courts.　　In this respect, Sony's lawyers say the aim is to gather enough information to justify "the spread of similar tools in California", and to refute Holtz's earlier statement that "cracking is only a personal hobby and not intended for public communication". Sony's move was once considered "too big to blow", and thus aroused the concern of the industry and the opposition of various charitable organizations. Holtz's lawyers have suggested that Sony's investigation and subpoena activities are suspected of violating citizens ' freedom of speech, but have not been recognized by the court. (Edit/Xu Mingming)
