So it all ended. They settled. EXCEPT that Geo is only banned from tinkering with any more $ony products and talking about how to tinker with said toys. $ony also isn't getting a dime from him and vise versa. If he does do anything, he can get fined two separate and outrageous amounts (I don't feel like looking it up, I'm lazy right now) depending on what action he takes.
HOWEVER, despite how childlike his actions and attitude about the whole court thing may have been, he does seem to mean well. Or at least, want to mean well.
"Hotz today posted a screengrab of a receipt showing a $10,000 payment to the Electronic Frontier Foundation, the Internet privacy and digital rights advocacy organization which also supported Hotz during his suit.
Hotz says the $10,000 represents "as promised, all left over legal defense money, plus a little to bump it to a nice number." Writes Hotz:
This money goes to the EFF in hopes that America can one day again be a shining example of freedom, free of the DMCA and ACTA, and that private interest will never trump the ideas laid out in the constitution of privacy, ownership, and free speech.""
