NewsForge Adds Their Take on Infinium Labs vs. HardOCP

Dyre Straits · Feb 20, 2004, 09:56 PM

"If you haven't heard of -- or have forgotten about -- Infinium Labs and their Phantom game system, don't feel bad. I wrote one story about them a number of months back. Hardware/gaming news site HardOCP wrote a much nastier one, and Slashdot linked to both stories. Since then I've paid almost no attention to this company. Then, yesterday, a PR person representing them invited me to attend a phone-in press conference during which Infinium Labs COO Kevin Bachus was going to say they had "initiated legal action" against a news Web site that had written nasty things about their company. The PR guy wouldn't tell me the name of the site, but I had a good idea which one it was.

Sure enough, we were talking about HardOCP. The "legal action" turned out to be a lawyer-written threat letter, not a lawsuit, and the letter was dated February 19, 2004, even though the story that angered Infinium Labs ran back on September 17, 2003."

Just read the opinions - great laugh.

Trouble is, the world seems to belong to unprincipled shysters with Rottweiler lawyers.
