Lik-sang out of business

			Seems Sony managed to get Lik-sang shut down due to multiple lawsuits. What does everyone think about this? I know Lik-sang was a fairly major online import store. http://www.lik-sang.com/news.php?artc=3901...

			It's their legal strategy. Those who are old enough might remember when they were sued out of existence by Nintendo over Gameboy flash carts. The "old" Lik-Sang went bankrupt and company was reborn some months later.

			Wasn't there another importer company that was an offshoot of Lik-Sang (after the ram cart thing) supposedly better than Lik-sang? Is that still around? I purchased a ton of stuff from Lik-Sang back in the day. They'll be missed.

			I'm not certain, but my guess is Play-Asia.

			Lan-Kwei was started by (a?) former employee(s?) of Lik-Sang. I've never ordered from them, the site looked a bit jank, and something about the place felt shady to me. I could be wrong about them, I'm kind of a paranoid guy. They're still in business after at least like 3 years, I think the first time I visited them was around three years ago, so they can't be too terrible I guess. Editing because I just went to see if their site had changed any, and it appears to be gone. Nevermind.

			Yeah, these were the people. I remember Lan-Kwei popped up right after the ram carts went away at Lik-Sang, and Lan-Kwei was selling them. Go figure. That's pretty lousy. Anyone out there similar to Lik-Sang? profshiny said: Lan-Kwei was started by (a?) former employee(s?) of Lik-Sang.
