You can't proscecute the customer for buying it! The item in itself is NOT Illegal.

You can bring any case you like to court..... It doesn't mean that any ruling reached by a Judge can actually be applied in another jurisdiction. In this case on an entirely different continent, with entirely different laws.

It's possible that their main market was the UK (or EU) and Sony could have gotten customs to seize all Lik-Sang goods heading in those directions.  That probably would have been devastating for them.

Pretty sad nonetheless.

We've actually seen cases like that before in the UK..... UK Customs would refuse to do that on the grounds that the costs would be astronomical (and who's going to pay for it), and in fact under UK Law the Courts could not rule that they should do it either.

Now hold on... this is comparing apples to oranges.  Nintendo has always offered a reliable product and quality games for a reasonable price.  This has never been true of sony. 

Whenever sony gets bad press I do my little dance of glee.  Their sucess in the market has soley been due to them standing on the backs of giants (and not giving the giants any credit or money) and sheer luck.  I won't shed a tear when sony's gaming division finally goes out of business. 

The lik sang thing is just another example of sony thinking their poo doesn't stink and they can do whatever the heck they want. 

I love how Sony responds with "it's not our fault" and then you read that they did indeed sue lik sang but claim wasn't their fault because sang didn't show up.  What kind of backwards logic is that?  It'd be like me rapeing a girl and then saying I was innocent because she didn't fight back. 

Sony not everybody has the cash you do, they probably didn't defened themselves because they knew they wouldn't have the funds to take you on.

Nintendo was the best thing that could happen to the home arcade scene in the 80's.

They came into the scene with a quality product with quality games. Much different then what everyone else was doing. Such as Atari who seemed to just flood the market with as many games as fast as possible, most of which no better than pong.

And lets not forget Nintendos greatest gift to the home arcade machine industry..... The thumbpad controller.
