Here's a little story about Sony.
Once upon a time, there was a site that sold imported games, controllers, and systems. This company would ship these imported systems around the world. They were so popular that well known Sony executives would use this site to ship their product for test to locations that Sony proper could not ship to for lack of resources or desire. When the PSP came out in Japan, literally, from Sony computers inside Sony UK, people ordered the PSP to ship TO Sony headquarters. The same occurred with the Playstation 2 and a variety of games.
This company shipped Sony Japan's products all over the world, to Sony USA bigwigs, to Sony UK bigwigs, to Sony Canada bigwigs.. everywhere. And yet, through all this, Sony shut them down through repeated threats of court order. Despite the highest ranking Sony employees in Europe praising this site on Sony Europe's own site at the time.. they financially destroyed this other company.
So, when someone tells me that Sony wouldn't cut off their own throats, I point them to Lik-Sang.Com. When Sony cuts their own throats, other people bleed.
