Update,including MP4 (http://www.danielyoung.biz/pg/blog/yrsoft3f/read/101106/mac-dvd-to-ipod), 7:01 p.m. PT: with Hotz saying he is on a long-planned vacation.
If you've been following the Blu-ray Ripper (http://www.ainsofts.com/blu-ray-ripper.html) (aka George Hotz) then you're in for a fun twist today: Sony is accusing Hotz of fleeing the country, but Hotz says he's just enjoying spring break.
Sony makes the allegation in a Blu-ray cloner (http://www.audiotoolsfactory.com/blu-ray-cloner.html)(PDF, see page 2, line 24) dated Friday.
After news stories began appearing today, Hotz wrote to set the record straight.
"Actually,you can choose which titles and chapters (http://www.gore-tex.com.hk/club/user_blog.php), it's true I'm in South America, on a vacation I've had planned and paid for since November. I mean, it is spring break; hacking isn't my life," he writes. "Rest assured that not a dime of legal defense money would ever go toward something like this. And of course [Sony-employed law firm Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton] loves the idea of painting me as an international fugitive. I have been in contact with my lawyers almost every day; I would not let the case suffer."
