I'm surprised he didn't make another rap video after all this "I'm going to win" "I'm fighting for justice!", etc. If they make a movie, Richard Simmons should be George.BobTheJoeBob said:OK, you try and be in his position; you're 20 years old being sued by a huge corporation. They give you an opportunity to end the case, would you not take it?foxgrey said:I always thought Hotz was a douche, but now I know he is a sell out as well!
Sony is trying to make an example of him and the rest of the scene, selling out is the same as letting them WIN!

He doesn't have an unlimited supply of money you know. he probably wanted it to end as soon as possible.foxgrey said:BobTheJoeBob said:OK, you try and be in his position; you're 20 years old being sued by a huge corporation. They give you an opportunity to end the case, would you not take it?
Don't get me wrong, If I was in his shoes as an average 20 year old then hell yeah I'd probably settle in a heart beat. But we are talking about the geohotz lol...Seriously though, he has gained some fame for all his troubles. He could have fought it for a lot longer, could have stood up to the beast and possibly even got somewhere. So I stand by my first comment.
No, but if you buy into the idea that he didn't spend it on the holiday, he did still have a fairly large amount of donations, which is obviously significantly large if he stopped accepting them after a few days...BobTheJoeBob said:He doesn't have an unlimited supply of money you know. he probably wanted it to end as soon as possible.foxgrey said:BobTheJoeBob said:OK, you try and be in his position; you're 20 years old being sued by a huge corporation.

The donations didn't give him that much money. It was a significant amount, but it was by no means going to last him for too much longer.antwill said:No, but if you buy into the idea that he didn't spend it on the holiday, he did still have a fairly large amount of donations, which is obviously significantly large if he stopped accepting them after a few days...BobTheJoeBob said:He doesn't have an unlimited supply of money you know. he probably wanted it to end as soon as possible.foxgrey said:BobTheJoeBob said:OK, you try and be in his position; you're 20 years old being sued by a huge corporation.

absolutely nothing. We're literally back to square one.
How do you know ? You are not psychic anyway. We shall wait and see.
We're back at square one because there has been no legal precedent set.

If that is for real, all those hoping he'd hack the xperia play or the NGP are going to be sorely disappointed.personuser said:shit got leaked.

Eckin said:according to that pdf, geohot got fucked over
like, real bad
was it really a good choice for him to accept those terms?
yeah I know this whole thing with geohot isn't important anymore, but I'm still shocked by those stipulations
