The dispute centres around LG's claim that Sony is infringing its use of Blu-ray technology.

As if people who buy tellies and fridges care about poor old Playstation :roll:

Corporate pissing contests are of no interest to me, nor are overpaid bloodsucking lawyers.

You could argue that Sony started it. This is LG fighting back after Sony made similar claims about LG infringing on cell phone patents or something.

It's all stupid, but whatever.

Pf. We should just remove the patent system once and for all. It will spark a technology race between companies (cause they will only be able to use new technology as an advantage for a limited time) more ferocious than the 2 World Wars and the Cold War put together (if we didn't have all these giant wars this past century, technology would never had advanced so much). Which of course will create new jobs and see a LOT of new tech come out very fast.

Only problem would be reduced revenue for the executives when they'll need to put more work in :lol:

Cause Korean TV makers offer the same quality TVs as Japanese and European ones, at a lower price.
