Title: Infinium Labs... Ok, so it wasn't a lie Post by: HaemishM on January 05, 2005, 07:32:16 AM We'll save some money by not fighting a lawsuit in which we have no grounds for suit, keke? (http://www.whereisphantom.com/hardocp.html)
Short story long... Infinium Labs, makers of the non-existent Phantom not-console will not be pursuing legal action against HardOCP for the article written ages ago that told the truth about the Infinium CEO's rather creative descriptions of his past business *ahem* successes. Essentially, HardOCP didn't lie, and it would be more costly to actually try to fight their truth legally than just take it and move on. After all, there must be many other investors to bilk.

Anyone running a pool on when Infinium will shut down yet? Title: Infinium Labs...

The first clue is that the 'CEO' has the communication skills of a fourth grader. Title: Infinium Labs...

A pox on every other idea that has come out of that festering hole of stupid. Can anyone link to it? And do you know if they have copyrighted their design? Title: Infinium Labs... Ok, so it wasn't a lie Post by: shiznitz on January 05, 2005, 01:26:37 PM I guarantee they haven't copyrighted the keyboard design, since copyrights are not applicable to hardware.
+2 in wiseass for me. Title: Infinium Labs...

Really? How come? And can't you copyright the design work (IP), just not the actual hardware? Title: Infinium Labs... Ok, so it wasn't a lie Post by: schild on January 05, 2005, 01:36:25 PM There has to be some copyright applied to design. That's what makes the Infinium Labs Keyboard so nice.
If there was no way to copy design everyone and their dog would have knockoff B&O phones and speakers, etc that they purchased from Best Buy. Title: Infinium Labs... Ok, so it wasn't a lie Post by: sidereal on January 05, 2005, 01:40:11 PM Design patents. Enjoy
