Infinium Labs Threatens HardOCP Again

Posted by timothy on from the crybabies dept.

XBox4Evr writes "In a follow up from two weeks ago, Infinium Labs is again threatening the tech website HardOCP with legal action. This in itself, is no big deal, but to actually read the letter from Infinium Labs lawyers will make you wonder if an educated person actually penned the documents. This seems to another huge blow to IL's credibility in the console market in general, now that ex-Xbox manager Kevin Bachus is on board with Infinium Labs."

    Here's another picture of the console.

    I don't do 3D gaming. I don't have a game console and probably never will. I don't know who the hell Infinium Labs are, and I don't care.

    I did, however, read the letter.

    I don't think the quip by XBox4Evr was fair, and don't think such statements as: "make you wonder if an educated person actually penned the documents" belong on the front page of Slashdot.

    I do think that someone has an agenda and Slashdot are helping them push it forward.

    That sucks.

      I state that you do not have any idea what the company is doing. The innuendo is that you are ignorant. The truth is you are jus' plain st00pid.

      Seriously, can you read that letter and take them seriously?

      Never criticize religion on Slashdot. You will be modded down for "Troll" no matter how factual it is.
  4. Nusance lawsuits should be a crime by Kris_J · · Score: 0, Troll

    Then if someone was abusing the legal system in order to attack you, you'd only have to report it to the police and they'd handle it from there. This would reduce costs to the target quite substantially, while putting a trained group of independant professionals into the system in order to prevent abuse of an anti-abuse law. (Filing false police reports is already a crime.)

    He was representing a couple of (probably illegal) immigrants who claimed they were discriminated against...

    Why were the immigrants "probably illegal"? Is it difficult for you to conceive of a legal immigrant? If so, go and have a look in the mirror. If you don't look like a Native American, then you yourself are an immigrant. Are you legal?
