Sonys iPod Paranoia

Der ein oder andere wird sich noch an die wahrscheinlich sinnloseste iPod Hülle in Form des Retropod erinnern:

Sony fand das offenbar wenig lustig und schickte seine Anwälte los, um die Entfremdung der eigenen Walkmanhüllen zu unterbinden:

Your use of casings for such a purpose is a clear infringement of the SONY and WALKMAN marks because it is deceptive. Consumers likely will be misled and deceived into believing that Sony is somehow connected with the iPod personal stereo when in fact it is not. Moreover, they will be misled into thinking that Sony is backward in its design of products and is going away from miniaturization, as the size of the tape player housing is quite large by today's standards.
