Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft vs. Lik Sang
Tue Oct 15 2002 14:57:22 Hong Kong Time

At September 16th a lawsuit against Lik Sang International Limited and it's directors has been filed in the High Court of Hong Kong by the companies Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft on infringing on copyrighted material and selling Mod Chips or other development and backup devices for the Plaintiffs consoles.

At October 17th, the High Court of Hong Kong issued Orders and Injunctions against Lik Sang which prevented selling or advertising Mod Chips (and other products in questions). The details outlined in those Injunctions took Lik-Sang.com and the company with more than 20 full-time employees "down" - business was officially closed till today. Lik Sang and it's employees couldn't even speak about the case due to an injunction of the High Court.

Lik Sang International Limited has removed all the products in questions from it's website and started it's business operation again by Tuesday, October 15th. Un-shipped orders will be processed in due course and the first shipments are scheduled to dispatch by November 1st. Customers with unshipped orders will receive emails with shipping & or cancellation information in the meantime. New orders are welcome.

Please note that Lik Sang International Limited has always sold the products in questions with the legitimate use in mind and the products haven't been considered as illegal. All the Court Orders have been issued before hearing a single word from the company. However, Lik Sang is not committed on selling the questioned products in the future.

Bit of a bugger that innit.

personally I'm glad they've taken this route instead of fighting for the modchips. Lik Sang have a broad range of legal stock for consoles like 3rd party accessories, it would be hard to find a supplier of such items from the far east as reliable as them.

I doubt the 'big three' will be able to stop them selling mods permanently. Its not like the HK government seems to care about copyright infringement...

from the tone of their statement I think they're just gonna not bother fighting it. Seems the quickest a easiest way for them to resolve the problem. They could go bust fighting to sell mods.
