Hmm, why does the UK High Court have the authority to decide that it's illegal to import PSPs to the EEA, wouldn't this belong to the European Court of Justice? Or does this have something to do with the fact that Hong Kong was a part of the British empire? Seems odd though, the operative word being 'was'...

The reason why he's allowed to rule for the whole European Union is probably because of how a product cannot exist in a EU country and not be tradable to another country. I believe that's how the rule goes. So, since the PSP was not allowed in England, because of the copyright issues, it shouldn't have been shippable to any other EU country.

And they say American politics are bollocks!

The UK High Court has no authority to make a ruling that imposes restrictions on the whole of the EU. It has simply made a ruling that can be used by Sony to prevent sales in the UK.

All it does is set a precedent that other EU countries may follow, completely at their discretion. However, the point being made is can Lik-Sang afford to continue selling units in Europe and then face the possibility of lawsuits which may not go in their favour - as shown by the UK case.
