I find it interesting that they need his hard drive or any equipment as proof that he did something illegal. At this point is it just Sony making stuff up about what he did before they have all the facts?

Protip: If your equipment is at risk being seized by the cops, feed it to tumblbeasts for proper disposal.

best to ignore that protip or face horrible consequences.

anyway, my understanding is that the lawsuit is still stuck at jurisdictional discovery, not full-on, let's find out if you did something naughty discovery. Which means they're looking for evidence of links to California (such as having a PSN account, which is a contract that, I think, claims Cali as jurisdiction) so they can sue him there, not in new jersey.

Should there be a standard that outlines using italics with asterisks to let the reader know that part of the comment was sarcastic. Well now that I think about it maybe Tumblbeasts could switch on Murder Mode if you feed them such things.

I though I was referring to made up comic, now I'm not so sure anymore. Oh god!, I hope they can't fit through RJ45's

I suppose it would depend on what was on it.

Yeah I would ignore that protip, instead of taking you to jail they would take you to the Mental Hospital for trying to feed something imaginary. If indeed Tumbleasts are imaginary. I still might not be convinced they are NOT real.
