Does Japan have a DMCA-style law? Even if it does, I'd guess that SCEA has a better (bigger?) team of lawyers than SCEJ when it comes to this sort of case.

- Tyrannosaurs 16y agoThey're not saying the case should have been bought in Japan or under Japanese jurisdiction (they admit it should be bought in the US, just that it should be bought in New Jersey as that's where the alleged offence was committed and because to bring it anywhere else is deliberately inconvenient to the defendant). The point about SCEJ is that it should be them that should be bringing the case rather than SCEA. Personally that one feels like clutching at straws as it doesn't invalidate the alleged infringement, just this particular case. In the unlikely event that the judge threw it out based on this SCEJ would just bring the case using the same lawyers and the same materials (SCEJ and SCEA are both after all Sony and to assume that they wouldn't co-operate and share resource isn't really realistic).
- jlazarow 16y agoIf the case was brought up in Japan, then wouldn't Hotz just need to avoid ever stepping on Japanese soil in order to stay out of trouble (regardless of the outcome of the case).
