SCEA has demanded that YouTube surrender not only information for Hotz’s account where his jailbreak video was posted, but also how many users accessed the video, the usernames of those with access to the video, and all usernames and IP addresses of everyone who posted or published comments to the vid. In addition to hitting up YouTube for dirt, Wired reports that Sony has demanded Twitter hand over the personal info of fail0verflow’s members — we’re waiting for Sony’s lawyers to don TSA gear as the next step in their search.

I'm curious what course of action they wish to pursue against people commenting a youtube video and following a twitter. I'm sure they know they can't do shit to them.

Sony intimidation tactics Sad I wonder if it actually pays off for them. Court costs vrs intimidation of noobs from trying to do this. I can't see it.

It might work out for Sony.

They obviously know that they will never ever get that information. But just spreading these news might make many derps feel traced, and they won't look up such instructions again.
