pandlcg was the first of many to submit the story about Hong Kong electronics retailer Lik-Sang going out of business following years and years and years of lawsuits from the likes of Sony, who didn't like that Lik-Sang sold modified versions of their gaming console in the past and also would sell Sony devices released in Asia to people in Europe and the US. Sony, for its part, says they have nothing to do with it, and the claim from Lik-Sang is just "sour grapes." They note that Lik-Sang didn't incur any legal costs in the recent lawsuit, as the company chose not to show up and did not pay the fine they were assessed when they then lost the case. Lik-Sang's original going out of business notice, however, makes it clear that the loss in the legal case, making it illegal for them to sell Sony products into the UK is a big hit on their business. Sony had claimed that they filed the lawsuit out of a fear that the Asian products do "not conform to strict EU or UK consumer safety standards."
