God that's fine if you've got beef with Sony but take it out on them, all these attacks are hurting us as consumers. Why can't we just play our games in peace.

Why can't some people just use their ps3 as they please? Why must sony go on a rampage and take people to court? They just want to use their equiptement as they please, I mean they did buy it.

They took one person to court for releasing their trade secrets to the whole world, which could have financially devastating effects on their business. It's not crazy, absurd or in any way outlandish. It's smart business by Sony as they have plenty of attorneys sitting around on payroll.
They didn't hurt this poor wittle guy. They got him away from their products (And he signed off on it).
|
Did you miss the not trade secrets... and not allowed to take him to court for it post?
|
Odd, he did get taken to court and agreed to a deal that sounds awfully similar to a non-disclosure contract that an employee would have to sign.
Oh right, it's not a trade secret because you said so. Gotcha. ;)
|
No... it's not a trade secret because the law says so...
|
Please show it. I'll wait for definitive proof.

It's called wikipedia bro.
"The disadvantage is that there is no protection once information protected as trade secret is uncovered by others through reverse engineering, for example, whereas patent has a guaranteed time of protection in exchange for disclosing the information to the public."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trade_secret#Definition
Trade secrets only deal with employees... and only when those employees sign Non-disclosure acts.
Though yeah... Companies sue people and get their way even when they're in the wrong ALL THE TIME. Heck look at Sony VS Bleem!
Bleem won EVERY lawsuit Sony threw at them, but went out of buisness due to sony repeatidly sueing about the same things that were denied every time.
