I'm not so sure if it's main purpose is to save Sony time and money, though that may be a consequence. I think it's more to make it as difficult as possible for geohot to defend himself. He doesn't live in California, would have to be present for hearings and such to adequately defend himself. That means lost time in wages (if he works for anyone) and lost money in airfare, living accomodations and the like. If you're not wealthy, it could be a big financial burden.
