I can understand the copyright on the manual thing, but I don\'t see what the big deal is here.

A guy from the UK could go to the US and buy one, but he can\'t have a third party do the leg work for him. That\'s just silly.

It\'d be like suing ebay sellers for selling their PSPs.

If this was any other company, this thread would be filled on how evil that company is. However, it\'s Sony, so I expect quite abit of support on this lawsuit.
:p

Seriously tho\', while I can understand the copyright angle, I also think it is a silly thing to sue for.

Especially since LikSang also sells Nintendo and I would presume, Microsoft, merchandise and has not been sued by either.

Business is business.  Sony is no more "evil" than Microsoft.
