SCEA being taken to court for being a 'Pirate' themselves!

[garyopa]

Sony is going to be investigated over stealing other people's technology and using it in their Playstation 3, VAIO and Bravia products.

This recent court filing is in regard to Sony's usage of patented Memory Caching which Chimei Innolux in Taiwan claims is their technology!

<a href="http://www.google.com/patents?id=8zMhAAAAEBAJ&zoom=4&pg=PA1&ci=159%2C926 %2C659%2C426&source=bookclip"><img src="http://www.google.com/patents?id=8zMhAAAAEBAJ&pg=PA1&img=1&zoom=4&hl=en& sig=ACfU3U1__BRxASAjRK79ZfggZ3nftXlEfQ&ci=159%2C92 6%2C659%2C426&edge=0"/></a>

Sony will be investigated by the US International Trade Commission over a patent infringement case lodged against Sony by Taiwanese LCD manufacturer Chimei Innolux Corp.

The said infringement scrutinises the memory caching technologies that Sony uses in PlayStation 3, VAIO notebooks and Bravia range of screens, all of which Chimei says are patent copyright infringements and therefore filed against on the said products.

Maybe the Taiwanese company used the PSJailbreak to dump the PS3 RAM and they figured out how the 'cache' works!

Wouldn't that be awesome?

If this goes through Sony is gonna be beyond screwed and I hope it happens too. Did they just say "don't worry no one will notice." They finally noticed and now you'll be crushed to the ground.

fun idea, but these Taiwanese guys are after them for their laptop and tv products as well, which is odd. how are sony's laptops implementing this since all the laptops out there are similar architecturally?
