Sony slams Lik-Sang statement as 'sour grapes'

Sony has denied any responsibility for the closure of lik-sang.com and has suggested that the import websites statement earlier today is merely a case of 'sour grapes'.

Platform holder Sony has released a counter-claim to Lik-sang's own statement earlier today. It reads:
"Sony Computer Entertainment successfully sued Pacific Game Technology (Holding) Limited (one of who's company trading names is Lik Sang.com) for infringing our Intellectual Property rights. Lik Sang did not contest this case (ie. they did not turn up and therefore incurred no legal costs). We have been awarded substantial costs against Lik Sang which have not been paid. We would therefore strongly deny that our actions have had anything to do with this website closing (we assume the legal entity is still trading) and would suggest that this release is sour grapes on behalf of Lik Sang which is aimed to belittle Sony Computer Entertainment and the British judicial system that ruled against them."

It also responded to the naming of several Sony executives, who are alleged to have bought PSPs from the site:

"The purchasing of PSP consoles by SCE employees would be for investigatory purposes. We would also like to express our surprise at a company releasing personal information about its consumers, as this is contrary to data protection principles around the world, it concludes.
