Sony is taking legal action after the discovery of a ring of PlayStation hardware pirates, reports Reuters.com.
Sony Corp. said on Wednesday that a Hong Kong court had issued an injunction against two companies the company had accused of piracy involving its PlayStation game consoles.
Furusawa [a spokeswoman] said the lawsuit sought damages and the freezing of the companies' assets...
Guo [another spokeswoman] said she could not comment on a Financial Times report that said a probe lasting more than five years by Chinese authorities had uncovered a web of subcontractors making pirated PlayStation consoles and parts, with the capacity to make up to 50,000 units a day.
