Alot of people are boycotting Sony because of it. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2003/06/19/nintendo_wins_liksang_piracy_case/ http://www.channelregister.co.uk/2006/10/23/sony_defeats_lik-sang/ A company can only take so much abuse. Sony just beat them down over time. Boycott sony for sure! Helloooooo!!! Want to import??? There's always www.play-asia.com to go to. AND they were selling same thing as Lik-Sang, BUT they stopped selling mod stuff once Sony sued Lik-Sang. Anyway they're still up and in business.. so stop whining and go there if you all REALLY want to import!!! Thank you. Lik-Sang did not show up to court and selling devices out of region creates probles. I guess sony finally realized the amount of imports and made japan and usa region 1.

Staticneuron, Lik-Sang didn't have he funds to hire legal counsel for each country Sony was suing them in. Sony put them out of business. As Vanguardian said, their case had to no merit. They were buying products from from Sony in Japan and reselling those products with the proper power supplys in Europe. Sony new that they couldn't win on legal grounds so they sued them in as many countries as possible at the same time until Lik-Sang lacked the necessary funds and had no choice but to fold. Since the PSP is region free, Euro gamers that purchased from Lik-Sang can buy their games in Europe.
