QUOTE("original article")
Comme vous le savez sûrement, cela fait déjà quelques temps que le constructeur nippon, Sony, s'en prend aux importateurs de PSP sur le sol européen. Mais cette fois-ci, Sony décide de frapper un grand coup en attaquant le très célèbre site Lik-Sang.com, connu dans le domaine de la vente des accessoires pour jeux vidéo, actuellement basé à Hong-Kong. Effectivement, le constructeur nippon vient de porter plainte envers ce site pour violation de trade marks en permettant la possibilité aux internautes d’acquérir la console ainsi que des jeux et accessoires.


Cependant, on imagine la difficulté pour Sony d'attaquer le site puisqu'aucune loi hongkongaise n'interdit ce genre d'acte. Or, le constructeur s'appuierai sur les principes des droits d'auteur (copyrights), et affirme que Lik-Sang les viole en vendant la console à l'étranger.


Pour le moment, aucune modification ne semble avoir été porté sur le site à la suite de cette poursuite judiciaire.


Décidément, Sony fait beaucoup parler de lui avec sa console que cela soit en bien ou en mal. Une affaire à suivre même si on se demande si les agissements du constructeur à faire intimider tout le monde ne risquent-ils pas de faire ternir son image auprès des commerçants, si ce n'est déjà fait...

Sony attacks Lik-Blood


As you surely know it, that made a few times already that the Nipponese manufacturer, Sony, are caught some to the importers of PSP on the European ground. But this time, Sony decides to strike a great blow by tackling the very famous Lik-Sang.com site , known in the field of the sale of the accessories for video games, currently based in Hong-Kong. Indeed, the Nipponese manufacturer has just carried felt sorry for towards this site for violation of trade marks by allowing the possibility to the Net surfers of acquiring the console as well as plays and accessories.

However, one imagines the difficulty for Sony of tackling the site since no law hongkongaise prohibits this kind of act. However, the manufacturer will be based on the principles of the royalties (copyrights), and affirms that Lik-Blood the violate by selling the console abroad.

For the moment, no modification seems to be related to the site following this legal proceeding.

Definitely, Sony makes much speak about him with its console that that is in good or evil. A business to be followed even if one wonders whether the intrigues of the manufacturer to make intimidate everyone are not likely to make tarnish his image near the tradesmen, if it is not already done...

If only Sony pooled the monies spent in their legal actions towards getting the PSP out earlier, perhaps this wouldnt have happened.

Instead of getting Sony PSP get a Windows Mobile device, instead of PlayStation get an XBOX or a PC. People say Microsoft treat them like **** but Sony is so far worse in almost every aspect.

Poor sony they must be having such a hard time....

idiots they should release things faster for us Europeans.

No wonder they're losing the handheld market ..

Maybe instead of wasting time and money sueing resellers, they should get working on putting it out in Europe.
