Sony Finds Evidence Linking Hotz's PS3 To PSN Account

This is ridiculous, they're grasping at straws here. Anyway, why is having the trial in California so important, I thought the DMCA was a federal thing and would be the same throughout the country?

it is, but a judge on new jersey may have never ruled on a dmca case, but with a california judge it's much more likely. california is the technology headquarters of the u.s., so a judge there probably has more knowledge of trials concerning the dmca than a judge in new jersey. thats the only reason i can think of.

i've got a feeling that's not the reason why sony is trying so hard to get the case to be held in California, it's more likly what XsavioR said imo

i can see it both ways. have the trial in california to hack at geohot's funds and have a judge whose had experience with dmca cases and may be more likely to rule in their favor.
