Sony Tries To Stop Europeans From Getting Their PSPs

Sony does not want Europeans to get their hands on the PSP before it is launched this September. In an effort to prevent just this, Sony is suing online gaming retailer Lik-Sang for selling Japanese PSPs to people in Europe. Sony is taking the case to the High Court in Hong Kong. Sony is looking to have the sale of PSPs, games and accessories from Lik-Sang's parent company, Pacific Game Technology, stopped. Lik-Sang allegedly violated Sony copyrights back in June as it mirrored the PSP manual on its site. Lik-Sang says that the suit is just a "cynical attempt to disrupt the successful online business... gain total market control, and garner publicity".
