even the two LARGE circuit boards,PSU were rolled by sony.. the only thing that was not made by sony was the HDD unit it was OEM maxtor drives

the next sony DVD recorders had Lite-on drives.  :-DD

Lite-On or Optiarc? Originally, Sony spun off its optical drive unit into a merger with NEC and called it Optiarc, but then bought the rest of it. Apparently (and this was news to me when I read it just now!) So y shut down Optiarc in 2017, but it was quickly bought up by an American company and resurrected.

With that said, it’s my understanding that Sony itself still makes optical pickups (few companies are capable of this, I guess), which are bought by many player makers. If you buy some boutique CD player, they may have built the system around it, but the pickup was bought from one of a handful of major companies. But information on this is devilishly hard to find, so I’m not sure if this is still true for Sony. (I know Philips stopped. Sanyo was once one. I can only assume Samsung does since they make everything...)

I work in the car industry, all the manufacturers buy each others models and tear them down and reverse engineer them as soon as that product is released onto the public market.

Right, I used to go up to Dearborn, MI for an annual meeting.  That's Ford's corporate home town.  You'd be driving down the street past one of their buildings, and there'd be the totally stripped chassis of some other maker's car sitting on blocks out in the parking lot.  It would change every week or two.

I would imagine one reason for doing that is to avoid patent lawsuits as well.  Need to make sure that your design is not too close to their design.  Always hated the IP system for that.  When you have multiple people doing the same sort of thing, some ideas are bound to cross paths.  Why not just allow them all to work instead of having to walk on egg shells all the time and try to avoid lawsuits.   Same with music, if a certain genre is popular it happens where one artist makes a song that sounds similar to another, then they get sued. 

Yeah you can sometimes win this stuff, but it costs millions and millions of dollars, so the system only really works for the rich.

That is what happens in China, essentially -  IP is not a "thing",  it's all about the implementation and getting it to market.  A system like that has some obvious advantages as well as disadvantages.

I don't believe there is any chance they could persue this legally as they would be bound to fail - it's just idle threats.

But the only way he can not remove it is by putting in the counter notice ... which is dangerous, they don't have a case but they do have lawyers who can drag things out. Best he can do to keep it up without running the risk of court proceedings is ask them to retract the notice and give him a legally valid reason to take it down.

Maybe someone broke contract by selling it on without a proper NDA.
