Lucky for us , no major device has been banned in recent memory. But its scary that LG is trying.

No, they're not. They just want the PS3 banned.

Let's hope LG hunts them all down LIKE THE DOGS THEY ARE.

violating a patent and violating a copyright are about the same to me.  so sony, like the hackers, should be held responsible for their actions if they did indeed violate LG's patents. 

i know you're trying to be cute but you can't justify behaving badly by saying someone else is behaving badly too.

I'm not trying to justify anything; merely satirising current affairs.

Also: I AM cute.

well i can't argue with that.   ;)



Assuming that there is patent infringement on Sony's part of LG's technology, what's going to happen is that Sony is going to offer LG royalies for every PS3 sold.  Then, you'll have LG pushing PS3 sales.  You heard it here first!

The LG-made consoles will return, for the first time since the 3DO!

Wasn't 3DO made by Panasonic? Didn't know LG was involved.

Nah, not only Panasonic. Check out the Goldstar 3DO (and while you're at it, the Samsung Saturn).



Why would LG want the PS3 banned? If they win the case then they will get royalties for every PS3 sold.



Officially on the anti-LG bandwagon!
