"Case Geohotz a deterrent to hackers"

The permanent injunction that has reached the hacker Geohotz act as a deterrent to hackers who put the PlayStation 3 in the viewfinder, said Michael Pachter. "It's a victory for Sony," said a source Videogame analyst Wedbush Morgan. "The permanent injunction prevents Geohotz to repeat those actions. That's exactly what Sony wanted, and in this way also showed that hackers can not go unpunished." "I think for most hackers to court, and the costs associated with it, are an effective deterrent, at least in those countries that have laws to protect intellectual property."
