If you donno the story..
This sony sued this very popular parallel import company to the ground and the method they use is so underhanded. They sued the poor little company in almost every country in EU knowing that the small company have no means to
put up a sustainable defense. So lik-sang choose to wind down and REFUND to their customers rather then go into $$$ wasting series of law suits
Reading this Lik-Sang company's history, it seems to run into lots of trouble with the law. For selling mods that allow pirated goods already infringed copyright laws and for selling things that hasn't been allowed for sale in certain countries break some other laws as well.
But for Sony's case, it's totally unreasonable.
