The man responsible for opening home brew on the iPhone and the PS3 is being bullied by Sony and needs a world class legal team; Unfortunately, that means MONEY.

Sony has five lawyers and poor George only has two. He needs three more to even things out, and that is where you come in.

If you have benefited from his work (ie – modded your PS3) then go to his site: http://geohotgotsued.blogspot.com/ and donate whatever you can even if it’s $5 for legal tender.

George estimates he needs around $10,000 to win the case; Winning the case means that YOU will always have the right to have home brew on current and future consoles. Every dollar helps, I will send what I can as often as I can and you should too. Any funds left over once the case is settled will be donated here. If you feel you can not donate financially you can still help by spreading the word and passing on the donation link.

Sony only wins if good people sit around and do nothing.

Yes, you read that correctly. All firmwares ever released or to be released by Sony will have homebrew. Why? Well, the company has no way of making their gaming machines know what is homebrew and what is officially released programs.

How is this possible? Well, the makers of both products have added a secret encryption to everything that is ran on either machine. Without this encryption, your programs will not run. But, that secret key has been released for both of the devices and this year, we will see both devices explode with homebrew and Sony won’t be able to do anything about it!

Thanks Geohot, Team fail0verflow, Mathiuel, and the others! We love you and truly appreciate everything you’ve done for us!
