Court rejects SONY's restraining order against Connectix

Gon writes "According to this Techweb story, the emulation side has legal precedent on their side. This might explain why the SF court rejected SONY's request for a restraining order against Connectix." Kristian Dorland sent us this email from the authors of UltraHLE who claim they have not been contacted by Nintendo and that they know nothing about the security device Nintendo claims they circumvented in the N64."

Interesting Ultra HLE Tech doc posted by an AC below.

/., please; rejection of an injunction motion isn't the same as a decision for or against the suit. Let's not have a repeat of the bickering that followed the MS v. Sun Java compliancy injunction.

I get so many cool links off this website, from both the articles and the responses. I have too many bookmarks!

Good! Let's hope Connectix wins the case

I really wish companies would "compete" via innoviation not litigation. Sony should just build a better "mousetrap" (console) that a G3 Mac could not emulate... than people would have to get a G4 Mac :-)

Seriously, competition is GOOD, gets us better products at lower prices.

Litigation only makes the lawyers rich, and wastes funds that could be better spent on R&D for more better products.

Got It Friday...

Just so weird.. the day they announced the news.. a CDR came by Fedex... from Digital River with the game on it..

I guess they are pretty these things in the "seat of the pants" mode.. no retail box no nothing..
