Sony Wins Restraining Order Against Geohot 397
tekgoblin writes "The courts have just issued a temporary restraining order against George Hotz (Geohot). Sony filed this lawsuit because they were unhappy that Geohot had released the Playstation 3 decryption keys so other people could play unsigned games on it. [Geohot is prohibited from] 'offering to the public, creating, posting online, marketing, advertising, promoting, installing, distributing, providing, or otherwise trafficking' in any software or methods for circumventing the PS3's protection methods. No longer can he 'provide links from any website to any other website' relating to such matters, or publish any information obtained by hacking the PS3. And more to the point, he can no longer 'engage in acts of circumvention of TPMS in the PS3 System to access, obtain, remove, or traffic in copyrighted works.' Pretty much he can't talk or think about the PS3 for some time."

Oh I doubt this is an attempt to our the cat back in the bag.
This is just trying to slow the cat down temporary for as long as possible and shoot the guy who let it out of the bag.

Easy for you to say if you don't want to play a game that's only available for PS3, for instance MGS4.
Aw poor baby. You might actually have to make a *gasp* sacrifice!
