1. Comment - Lik-Sang Loses Sony PSP Import Battle

   (Oct 19, 2006 - 9:42 PM)

   Holy crap! "judge smokes crack and accepts bribes to levy a ruling against lik-sang... again!"
   
   OK, so that may not be the case, but at what point did selling consoles in a legitimate fashion (ie: they were not stolen but paid for... twice) become and _Intellectual_Property_ case?
   
   And why didnt it occur to the judge and $ony that there very well may be japanese people living in Europe who would want a japanese console to play japanese games, perhaps even the first day said console was available?
   
   Ah well, this just pushes it further "underground". Stopping lik-sang isnt going to appease any agenda $ony might have, and grey market will become black market where there are real financial losses to the manufacturer.
   
   BTW: how do I go about editing my site so people in Europe cant buy my products? Wouldnt that kind of take the "world wide" out of www?

2. Comment - LimeWire Countersues Record Industry

   By that quote alone, all ISP's should be hiring boatloads of staff to monitor customers usage and data transfers at a microscopic level, just in case giving people internet conections "may be condoning file-sharing violations indirectly".
   
   I mean, why go after a single application's author/company, why not just nip it in the bud and close down the entire internet for "indirectly condoning illegal activities"?
   
   Wait, dont they also still sell DVD players, which indirectly condones all types of piracy by enabling 1:1 media duplication?
   
   Its a never-ending cycle, and as long as the record industry has money backing them to hire lawyers, they will always find a target.
