Lik-Sang.com Out of Business due to Multiple Sony Lawsuits!

Emails doesn't matter. Money matters. The only way to make Sony stop their shitty practices:

A)Organize a worldwide, multimillion person boycott of ALL Sony goods.

B)Attempt to garner support from Sony stock holders or other influential parties.

C)Destory the PS3 production and distribution plants, to prevent any PS3s from being made or released. This loss alone would force the PS3 to either, never be released or be launched again in 2-5 years. By that time Sony may have learned a thing or two about being a good business.

Added:

IF we could organize enough support, we could maybe even get Nintendo and Microsoft (depending on their disposition towards Lik-Sang) to speak out against Sony. If either of those two companies brought to light Sony's shitty practices, you can bet Sony would see a marked reduction in profits across the board.

Not to mention, Microsoft and Nintendo could hire lawyers to overturn that judge's cracked out decision; especially if it hurts their business.

Holy crap. I cant believe this......

**** YOU SONY ASSHoles


it will be hard to boicott BUT GOD DAMN ill try as hard as i can!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's pretty low-down.

Holly F**king S**** Sony has to be the biggest hypocritical baster industry in the entire world. Stating we only want whats good for the customer. If that was true then why do you Sony pricks release your councils and games at different times in the world. If you truly believe what you said witch i know they don't. Then make a world wide release . Sony sucks big C***. I wish they hack the PS3 the first day its release. And everybody in the entire world stops buying there stuff and just downloaded. Maybe just maybe then they will think to appreciate the consumer and stop messing around with the people that actually let us buy what we want. Crap we aren't stupid Sony we know we need adapters and all that stuff for different country's. We ain't going to try to fit a plug where it doesn't belong other then you f---ing ceos asses.

Yeah thats what I was just about to say. So much for no money down preoders, toss all of those out the window.

Nothing beats camping outside the night before the consoles released right? (meh)

Really you guys need to get over it. You knew that at some point someone would look into what Lik-sang was doing and shut them down. It's sad yes, but Sony makes so much money they don't really care if they piss a few people. So they do what makes them the most money. And you can say you will boycott all you want but Sony has a whole country of fanboys, So even if you get 100 thousand people to boycott you haven't even taken away 1% of there total revenue. So all in all Lik-Sang broke the law and they were shut down but it's sad it was over such a small thing. So maybe a new site will come up that does the same services but without breaking laws.

As I always said: $ony IS the f***** Devil!!

I agree with you middie. And hopefully your comments don't get you really flamed. Not good to go on the side of the big greedy monster. We are aware of Sony's fan boys base region and all we know we don't make even a scratch on the list. But where theres hope theres happiness.

Whats next?? Divineo? SuccessHK??, PlayAsia??...

$ony is just trying to scare us, but we must not fall in their trap

I think the whole point of this is, what law did Lik Sang actually break?

Clearly many of Sony's own employee's didn't feel Lik Sang was doing anything wrong otherwise why would the following have purchased through them?

Ray Maguire (Managing Director, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe Ltd), Alan Duncan (UK Marketing Director, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe Ltd), Chris Sorrell (Creative Director, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe Ltd), Rob Parkin (Development Director, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe Limited).

really too bad for lik-sang. i loved the dc section. :(

I will keep on buying from all mentioned by E.T oops mi bad E.J and hope sony burns. Or at least that the CEOs cant get it up ever again.lmfao

LONG LIVE SONY .the evil empire ,yeah im so happy to hear they won this and drove them law breaking Hong Kongeans out, you know the asian countrys have a big piracy problems and what not ,link sang for whatever reason was breaking some law and got busted, so what sense when do we advacate law breaking on this site (when it helps us )you cry babys make me sick .

not one person here will care after they post there comment and move on to the next psp game they pirate (from sony)tityybabbbbys

Acid I agree but at the same time people like Sony but not how they run business. Sony is going down the tubes so there doing anything they can to raise their profit margins and unfortunately for us they take away things we like to make more money. So all I’m saying is look at it from Sony’s point of view they loose money from sites like Lik-Sang. So of course they try to take them down. Not because they think it will hurt us or whatever but because they need the money to make new movie, games, and consoles.

^ Truly hilarious post. ^
The one ending with tityybabbbbys. :D

See, its actions liek this that make me never want to spend money on a sony product again.

sony is so hurt for money because thats all they think about.. that they are taking it from anywhere they can get thier greedy hands on it

Mudd, you really can't even grasp the concept of what this is about can you? If you've ever wanted to import a game and therefore legitimately pay for the software this affects you, it does not relate to piracy.

In fact here's one of the best quotes I've read that illustrates the situation.

"Well Sony, Lik-Sang is where I was buying Japanese PS2 games from. Looks like I'll have to start downloading them you Nazi f*!%s."

Nice way to increase piracy Sony, way to go......

... lik sang sold no pirated goods. they only cry babies are sony fan boys like yourself who feel it necessary to defend their Nazi company. No laws were broken and nothing illegal was advocated. Before you decide to type something as ridiculous as this please do the research and think it through. the iq of many people who read these forums just dropped because of you. have a nice day.

Yeah but nobody realizes that Sony the hypocrites they are lost a patten lawsuit worth millions over the PSP and several other cameras and stuff. all worth over 600 mill so if nobody believes me about that check agear patents thats who Sony F**** stoled the idea from. And then they stand there and say they want whats best. They want whats best for there wallet. I hope we see the next dead counsil.

go get iso loaders...lol kill em... sorry bad mood coming out.. :)

thats bullshit

Yup sony really took the cake for evil for corp behavior this time.

I mean I just started ordering from likksang, just got my gp2x there.. this is reallysad.

I do think they will be back eventually but.. I mean does sony really need more bad press.

You mean Sony did something wrong? And the majority of the internet is going crazy? I've never heard that before :rolleyes:

To the people who are going to "boycott" Sony's products and download Sony ISOs: You aren't going to make a difference whatsoever, shut-up.

I hardly think this is a wise decision by Sony, but its not all their fault. Think about the pressure from the movie industry. There may not be region encoding for games, but there is for Blu-Ray movies. Not to mention Sony has its own movie industry it needs to protect.

And this "FUXXX $0NY" mentality needs to go, sure you're angry, but judging by the way some people are reacting you'd think Sony started a Holocaust.

to be honest i not mad i had and sold my psp, im happy with my Gp2x.. and im not into iso loaders just sony always been a pain.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to where we could get lower firmware (downgradable) PSP's without the TA-082 motherboard? Any other reputable websites?

what they did WRONG was shut down a very useful source for europe, and in some ways the us to make reasonable purchases. your correct that people are going over board, but as for me... I just dont like sony's products and this is another way to stick it to the man :)

Fucc Sony

Sony strike back

In a statement issued to our sister-site GamesIndustry.biz, Sony has denied any responsibility for the closure of Lik-Sang - accusing the online retailer of "sour grapes".

The statement begins by observing that Sony Computer Entertainment has successfully sued Pacific Game Technology, which uses Lik-Sang as one of its trading names, for infringing intellectual property rights.

"Lik-Sang did not contest this case (i.e. they did not turn up and therefore incurred no legal costs). We have been awarded substantial costs against Lik-Sang which have not been paid," the statement claims.

"We would therefore strongly deny that our actions have had anything to do with this website closing (we assume the legal entity is still trading), and would suggest that this release is sour grapes on behalf of Lik-Sang which is aimed to belittle Sony Computer Entertainment and the British judicial system that found against them."

Earlier today, Lik-Sang announced it was going out of business, citing a series of lawsuits filed by Sony as the reason for the closure. The retailer also alleged that several SCE executives purchased import PSP hardware and software on its website.

Sony responded, "The purchasing of PSP consoles by SCE employees would be for investigatory purposes. We would also like to express our surprise at a company releasing personal information about its consumers, as this is contrary to data protection principles around the world."

source so theres a shock $ony claim innocence. $ony employees using an import store for 'investigatory purposes'? when they could get a machine sent by the comapny? something dont add up

Holy crap :eek: . I cant believe this. SONY killed a Lik-sang, :mad: :mad: :mad: Damn Sony you are SUCKERS,

It bloody will if enough people started doing it. And I think alot more will now purely because of this.

I don't even care if i get banned or whatever for saying this but if you are angry enough about this maybe you should start downloading iso's instead of paying for the games and proloning the existence of a money grabbing corporation that forgot about it's customers a long long time ago.

:(

why oh why do atlus and nippon ichi make games for the system that i don't want to buy. . .

In the uk, the price currently listed for a ps3 in most shops is five hundred pounds, that equates to around one thousand US dollars. I for one will not be spending such a ridiculous amount on a console, from any company, and I know a **** load of ps2 and psp users who agree. I really don't think that this time sony will be able to get away with their "we can do what we like, you will still swallow our shit"- type attitude.

They will fail as a company and they only have themselves to blame
