right now at the moment i could yell around loudly, as the london high court got famous liksang.com to close down! sony claimed against the worldwide shipper, because of a fact, all humans with a working brain would shake their heads.

-quote from liksang.com-
Lik-Sang.com, ... , was today informed that Sony Computer Entertainment Europe Limited and Sony Computer Entertainment Inc have obtained a judgment in the High Court of London ruling PSP sales of the popular web store to the UK and the European Economic Area (EEA) unlawful.
The court hearing took place on October 9 at the High Court of London, without Lik-Sang's legal representatives attending or arguing at the hearing. ...
The legal battle with Sony over Lik-Sang's legitimate exporting activities started during August 2005. Sony complained about the sales of PSP (PlayStation Portable) systems to Europe and launched a lawsuit in the High Court of Hong Kong, arguing that Lik-Sang advertises the Sony products "in a dishonest manner" and "unlawfully interferes with Sony's economical interests". They further launched a completely separate lawsuit against the Hong Kong based company in the courts of England for selling PSP consoles to customers in Europe and the UK, and also for mirroring the freely available PSP user guides on their servers alleging copyright infringement. ... "Fighting multiple lawsuits in different countries at the same time and paying high premiums to expensive lawyers is an overwhelming situation for a small company like Lik Sang. Launching separate court actions with separate claims and different judges is completely unnecessary, except for the fact that it helps reaching one single target: outspend Lik-Sang to death. Pay beyond", said Pascal Clarysse, Marketing Manager of Lik-Sang.com.

hm, lets think of what i`m reminded with this...
woohoo, sony took over microsofts practices to get rid of all others. one way is to buy the enemy, the other to simply kick them out of business with long trials, little companies can`t afford. oh gosh, i never thought it is able outside of the USA to get through this accusation so simple, fast and with a total victory!!!
liksang.com was first place to get import games and console stuff for gamers all over the world and i`m very sad they closed down so fast. if there`s a chance to go against sony and hurt them very bad, i`d be in the first row! finally i convinced myself to never buy again something from sony, ha!!! i know thats not much for a comp like sony, but there will be more people like me i`m sure in future. this post i wrote to simply tell the world, how rude sony now is and i`m hoping this message goes around the world to reach as much people as possible!
