Sony puts major Asian video game retailer out of Business.

Again, as proven earlier in the thread, there was an undeniable lie. Sony saying "This is required" when it actually isn't is a lie, plain and simple. To say it's not is to factually be wrong, cut and dry wrong. They are purposely saying something is true when they know it's not, that is the very definition of lying.

And no, WD isn't spamming. You're opinion is wrong there, again. He posted a topic and gave his opinion about it, that's no more spam than you defending Sony.

Besides, if you read WD's first post you'll see that he didn't even say anything derogatory about Sony. He said "This proves they mean business when they sued anyone about their gadgets" and "This can't sit well with other retailers". The following post is you making silly accusations that WD was "spamming anti PS3 threads" and later going on to say there was some "anti ps3 one-liner" when there wasn't, honey.

If you want to keep the rose-colored glasses and keep up the pretense, fine.

You're just protecting your own.

I have? Where? I haven't insulted anyone. I just insulted their asinine arguements that don't make a lick of sense.

I used to work with mentally-ill children in a hospital when I was in high school. I used "Honey" alot when they did something stupid or damaging to themselves.

See the trend?

Right, you don't ever insult people at all. : 🙄

Follow your own advise. You didn't even understand the principles of the article. I had to dumb it down and explain it to you.

Don't jump into a issue that's CLEARLY about economic trade and policy when you don't know crap about it.

Draco does NOT have a good argument.

Yeah. I kinda do. Has ANYONE mounted a credible counter against it? Nope. Has ANYONE posted a different economic perspective? Nope.

Since YOU can't ( you don't have proper knowledge about it) you'll immediately go the best route you can....

He twists words, exaggerates, and flat out lies, all for the singular purpose of defending actions that have no right to be defended.

Right on cue. You have no proof or evidence or even plausible deniablity to support these ridiculous claims.

So you just go the "shame on you!" approach.

Strip away all the past, all the annoyance at the PS3, all the rest of Sony's HORRENDOUS track record,

Proof? Don't worry. You probably don't understand it. And I'll explain it to you again....

If? Do you even know what Lik-Sang DOES? Why can't people understand that Lik-Sang was an illegal business not different from a meth lab?

what Sony did by suing Lik Sang out of existence is vigilantism, not justice.

They went to court. They presented their case before the London Court. A court of law.

Where's the viglantism?

This should have been a government issue, if the issue at all existed.

It WAS a government issue...and a corporate issue...and a foreign issue.

Are you going to try to counter my economic arguements on page 2 at all?

It WAS for you.

Than do stop wasting our time.

And you try to condemn people for one-liners.

Hypocrite.

Draco, you HAVE insulted people here, several times. Saying stuff like this...

But I'm just irritated that people here don't use their brains to think something through. NOTHING is ever simple.

Which I guess is partly my fault because I was obviously expecting to much from people here in KMC forums....

I used to work with mentally-ill children in a hospital when I was in high school. I used "Honey" alot when they did something stupid or damaging to themselves.

IS insulting.

And no, for the last time, posting an article and saying this in the first post:

Not really a Next Gen topic but here is an article regarding the lawsuit agaisn't a major Asian retailer. This proves Sony means business when they sued anyone for their gadgets.

This could really not set well with other major video game retailers around the world.

Is not immediately going "OMG SONY'S EVIL PS3 SUCK!" It was him stating a fact - that Sony didn't mess around with this - and wondering how other retailers will react and how it will effect him. You immediately jumped with this "More anti-PS3 stuff?" when WD did not even mention the PS3 at all - nor did the article.

And just as BF said. If WD posting articles here is spam, then you debating said articles and defending them is also spam.

Get your facts straight, Draco. Your insulting condescending manner is not welcome, nor is your twisting of the truth, jumping the gun, and hypocrisy. You have directly antagonized four mods in this thread. You then have argued with me asking to stop with the attitude and refused to drop such attitude. Now, how much do you want a warning? Because you're well on your way to get one.

Ok, Leave it out Draco.

Lay off Draco, he has a good argument against WD, but because he's a mod you all hump his leg, if Draco wants to f*cking debate, LET HIM.

Damn i hate people like that. 😠

Anyways, moving away from Draco's moaning and bitching.

Here is an update on the situation with Lik Sang and Sony.

Lik-Sang responds to Sony's "sour grapes" jibe
Tom Bramwell 17:29 26/10/2006

The retailer says it spent "over a year" disputing claims in the UK

Lik-Sang has continued its war of words with Sony over lawsuits which the Hong Kong retailer cites as responsible for its closure, arguing that a number of the PlayStation company's statements in court and since have been misleading or contradictory.

Marketing manager Pascal Clarysse, who has since left Lik-Sang, said in a statement to GamesIndustry.biz that the retailer "spent over a year to vigorously contest the UK court's jurisdiction", despite Sony's claim earlier this week that the retailer made no representations.

He also disputes Sony's claim that employees who allegedly purchased import PlayStation Portable consoles from Lik-Sang as early as December 2004 were doing so for "investigatory purposes", as Sony argued on Tuesday.

"Oddly enough, all investigatory orders that were revealed by Sony to the High Court in London and to the High Court in Hong Kong started much later than the purchases placed by [Sony employees]," Clarysse says.

"Further to this, Sony Europe's own Legal and Business Affairs Manager signed a witness statement in the High Court of London that says that Sony Europe 'became aware' of parallel imported PSP consoles in the UK and in the rest of Europe only in March 2005, and the same witness statement presents a trainee solicitor from Sony's lawyers as the one placing such investigatory orders during May 2005."

With Lik-Sang now out of business, the situation looks bleak for other importers of foreign hardware, but, says Clarysse, it is the human cost that's being felt most now that the dust is settling on this episode. "Unfortunately for Lik-Sang, the current situation is neither a joke, nor a game: A bunch of people, including two highly pregnant women, have lost their basis for existence because of corporate lawsuits for something that is not only regarded as lawful in Hong Kong, it is considered to be beneficial for consumers (free trade)."

Sony declined to comment on Lik-Sang's statement.
