HardOCP Sues Infinium Over Legal Threats
Cebu writes "According to GameSpot, in a less than surprising move, Kyle Bennett of tech website HardOCP has decided to file a lawsuit against Infinium Labs, makers of the forthcoming Phantom PC-based 'console'. On February 27, a lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division under the Declaratory Judgment Act to force the issue of Infinium Labs' repeated legal threats against HardOCP for an allegedly defamatory article written last year."
...or does anyone else think of the organization from Robocop when they read "HardOCP?
Word has it that the Infinium console is going to be bundled with Duke Nukem Forever.
Slashdot has now become... Grokdot! (er... well we could make it Slashlaw, but...)
Karma whorin' since 1999
...if they want to keep up with HardOCP. Maybe they can put their lawsuit in the form of a cartoon.
And in order to win, Infinitum Labs has to produce Phantom, that is all great, kicks major ass and generally proves all derogatory articles untrue. Case dismissed, gamers rejoice, console enters trade :)

So apparently nobody's business model revolves around selling anything anymore, just suing the shit out of everything that makes them pissed off?
First SCO, now Infinium. They should merge and specialize in lawsuits.
Jimbo Jones: You let me down, man. Now I don't believe in nothing no more. I'm going to law school.
Homer: Noooo!
I think Infinium should be more worried about what the SPCA will have to say about this.
I don't know. i don't really understand it.
Which is why, of course, you have a score of: 5, Informative. Makes perfect sense.
Another poke from PA today. With posting comics every other day, they're falling behind!
I don't think that goes into effect until they actually send out test units.
Wait, they found an address and someone to serve the papers to? Looks like Infinium Labs is making progress...
Thier forums are "down for maintenance" I guess that makes sense, they must need the hard drive in that server for the Phantom unit they will demo at E3 coming up. Well I sure hope after E3 they put the forum drive back in thier server !

I dunno. As reader of Something Awful and peruser of many of their Awful Links of the Day, anytime I hear the term 'slash' I immediately think of gay sex fanfic. Slashlaw just brings to mind images of those guys from the Practice getting it on, and that's just not a pretty picture.
'Standards' in computing only impress those who are impressed by things like 'standards'.
HardOCP thinks that there legal hand sux.
HardOCP calls and says let's see the cards...
Why am I unable to hear the parent post in anything other than Comic Book Guy's voice?
Ironically, the word ironically is often used incorrectly.
Oh, Pac-Man! We must not! We can not! It is not permitted!
That's it. I'm no longer part of Team Sanity.
Never mind that they posted four articles in one day... now that was falling behind!
Karma: It's all a bunch of tree-huggin' hippy crap!
You can find a layout of their booth here

Go away, Tim.
Respectfully,
Legolas.
I want 2D games back.
You write "confused", but perceptive readers know you mean "intrigued" or "curious".
