LG singled out the PS3, because it is somewhat "the device" and they solely want to piss off Sony for the cell-phone lawsuit. Why doesn't go LG after all the other 211252524 makers of Blu-ray devices who very likely also infringe on (some of) the specific copyrights? What happens if LG "wins" (there is no winning in such lawsuits) to the other 211252524 makers? Will LG lose by default because they singled out one specific device of a competitor? Only the courts will tell, and as usual with the court system, the results will be unpredictable. |
Who's to say those other 211252524 companies didn't license it?
Sig thanks to Saber! :D
