Selling (PS3's) to Europe Could Cost You! |

Mitra Pahlabod of Davenport Lyons sent MCV a
"warning" that those who sell PS3's to Europe (importers) may face
legal troubles, and ultimately legal finances extending beyond the profit of
selling a PS3. This warning however comes from a law firm rather than Sony
themselves, most likely based off of the previous annihilation of Lik-Sang by
Sony themselves. The warning proceeds as the following -
As far as importers of PS3s are concerned, they should bear in mind that any
profit they may make from importing the consoles into Europe without SonyÂ’s
consent this Christmas may well be short lived,” Pahlabod stated. “They run the
real risk of defending lengthy and costly trademark infringement proceedings.”
This situation is mainly a concern that some major importing websites (that
specialize in importation alone), but as an average consumer selling one on
eBay, there shouldn't be much of a concern. Sony's defeat of Lik-Sang harmed
the importing community, but some still live on.
Thanks Badam for sending this in!
