[NEWS]Le procès contre Sony pour Other OS revient : News - PS3-Infos

[Attila]

Il y a quelques années, un procès contre Sony par rapport au retrais d'Other OS sur sa PS3 avait éclaté. Sony avait gagné mais le procès refait surface ...

Les arguments énoncés aujourd'hui sont que les plaignants ont perdu de l'argent car ils n'auraient pas payé "autant" s'ils avaient su que la console serait bridée d'une fonctionnalité énoncée. Ils n'auraient pas pu éviter cette perte car en ne faisant pas la mise à jour, ils auraient perdu l'accès au PSN.

Law360, Los Angeles (January 06, 2014, 5:36 PM ET) — A Ninth Circuit panel on Monday partially reversed a lower court decision squashing a putative class action accusing Sony Computer Entertainment America LLC of reneging on its promise to let users run alternative operating systems on their PlayStation 3s.

In an unpublished, memorandum opinion, the appeals panel ruled that the district court erred in dismissing all of the plaintiffs’ 15 claims, including violations of California’s unfair competition and false advertising laws, because they properly alleged the public was likely to be deceived by Sony’s promotional statements….

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals on Monday reversed a 2011 dismissal of a class action lawsuit accusing Sony Computer Entertainment America LLC of issuing a firmware update that disabled other operating systems from being able to run on its PlayStation 3 console — a key feature that was promised in ads for the PS3.

In its Jan. 6 decision, the three-judge panel at the federal appellate court in San Francisco said the district court was wrong to dismiss five of the 15 claims against Sony.

They said that the plaintiffs provided “sufficient facts” when they alleged that the public was likely to be deceived by the statements made by Sony that the PlayStation 3 would have dual functionality, allowing users to use two different operating systems on the one machine.

“They allege that Sony’s misrepresentations at the time of the sale mischaracterized the dual functionality of the PS3 — and were likely to deceive members of the public — because Sony later restricted users to using either the other OS feature or accessing the PlayStation Network feature, but not both,” the panel wrote.

On se demande si cet argument n'avait pas été énoncé au procès de 2011 ...
