iPhone jailbreaker George Hotz - Geohot - is facing a restraining order from Sony after he hacked the company's PlayStation 3 games console.
Sony has asked for an order against Geohot and other members of the hacking team after their PS3 jailbreak method spread like wildfire on the internet.
The order demands that all detail of the jailbreak be removed immediately...everywhere!
It's unlikely Sony will get very far with this action, but it shows how angry the company is that it's PS3 can now be used for non-Sony functions.
Last year, US authorities decided iPhone jailbreaking was not illegal.
