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."
im going to kill the next person who uses this tired ass joke. got anything clever to say regarding our phantom overlords or perhaps soviet russia? for shame, "moderators"!
I submitted this same damn link, with a much better summary, around 3pm Eastern time.
No credit for me, cuz whoever was on day shift ignored it.
It seems strange, that we bitch at SCO for being "litigous bastards" but then when HardOCP files a suit we generally zip up the "frivolous lawsuits" complaints. I like HardOCP and all, and personally don't have a clue what the heck Infinium Labs/Phantom console is, but it's interesting to note the hypocrisy of the /. crowd.
An even bigger error is calling them "journalists".
Listen Before u take sides do your own research people can lie you know even Hard|OCP. I did mine and found lots of stuff [H] didn't mention or got wrong and even didn't talk to the right people to get there information. All I ask research than judge.
Hard Over Clocked Penis...
not a troll let me explain.
Overclocking is just a form of the pissing contest among geeks. Whoever has the fastest most overclocked machine thinks they are more of a man because of it. I started reading HardOCP about the same time I realized how silly the whole thing was and I still use the same lowly P2-400mhz and it is just fine.

At what point does your righteous "vocal majority" become an angry mob? When they stop considering the "vocal minority" point of view? When they ignore a voice of dissent because it is not "eloquent"? Try to keep perspective.
This whole issue sounds more like a case of dueling Editor/CEO egos than a real threat to free-speech or a case of libel.
