Here's hoping they throw it out in favor of free market thinking-- competition is a good thing.

Hey Konami. Why don't you worry about Japan and stop making crappy US DDR CS games, and let us enjoy OUR OWN GAMES?

Jeez, Guitar Hero is more closely related and known than Rock Band. How can they miss them? And it was released in Japan already?

Well, apparently Activision pay patent licenses to Konami already, so they're safe.

Why the hell would Harmonix pay if they have to halt productions to their peripherals in the end if they do so? Obviously they are going to fight, but most likely once Activision hears about this, they'll side with Konami.

Hopefully Harmonix will win. I don't want Harmonix to end up with the same fate as ITG when Konami sued them.
