US judge dismisses brunt of Sony breach lawsuit

 A US District Court judge in California has absolved Sony of several charges in a class-action suit that followed the 2011 breach of its PlayStation Network (PSN) and on-demand entertainment service Qriocity.

Judge Anthony Battaglia this month dismissed claims against Sony, which include negligence, unjust enrichment, and bailment, noting in a court order that “none of [the] plaintiffs’ current allegations assert willful, intentional, or reckless conduct on behalf of Sony”.
