Results to a survey on game piracy I did...

They cloak it in "narrow" language (ie we just need to see what "the hackers" have been doing) but what they're actually asking for is full access to basically everyone who has accessed this info in any way. It's subtle to a non-techie but obvious otherwise:
Specifically, SCEA requests that the Court
order Hotz and third parties – who may either have information to help identify the
infringers or may be knowledgeable about the unlawful scheme to distribute the
circumvention devices – to respond to limited and targeted discovery no later than five
days after service of the Court’s order granting this motion.

And that covers any entity that has published (or even has information about, like is aware of its existence in the wild?) the key. Also, the key situation is almost certainly legal in Europe (which is where the failoverflow group is), which is why they're using American courts as a proxy to attack them.

Everyone act surprised.
Stepping up Sony's lawsuit against PS3 jailbreak developer George Hotz, this Thursday a judge approved multiple subpoenas which seek logs of all viewers and commenters to his YouTube video, visitors to his blog and website, and all information associated with his Twitter account."

"Narrow" language indeed.

But wouldn't it also be easier to find people that pirate media in that group?

Also, 72% is an awfully high number for any demographic.
