I stopped buying any kind of Sony hardware years ago, the first word that comes up in my mind when I hear Sony is "lock-in". Obviously, they don't care that their brand is already tainted in the eyes of many technical people. But losing this kind of lawsuit would be harder to ignore.
Looks like anon is in on the action as well. http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-WU1zd4CPT4Q/TWBKrBauwYI/AAAAAAAAAe... I've donated.

You know, nowadays opening a random one-time email account takes less than 5 minutes. Just go to hotmail and register as oks03wsdjf. You can do that and find out how you can donate.
I think you miss the point. I don't want to communicate with anyone in order to donate anything to them. There are plently other options out there than Paypal so why are they not offered.
Is there a way we contribute without our wallets?
Not that its going to do Geohot much good, but I for one won't be purchasing another Sony product, ever.

Dude, I'm just another HN reader who decided to support this cause. If you made a point in your original message, I most certainly did miss it. You have issues with paypal and email? That's your prerogative. Maybe Geohot didn't expect people to have both these problems.
downvote away if it makes you feel like a bigger man.
He mentions that the EFF isn't taking on the full load of the case, but maybe he'd get more donations if EFF acted as an intermediary and managed the donations for him. He mentions several times questions like "Why should I trust you?", and his answer, "I'm very ethical", is not that reliable in and of itself. If the EFF sets up a fund, we wouldn't have to worry about suspicions about the use of the money and Geohot…
If they don't trust him now with 5 bucks; then it may be true that they're just in for the piracy.
