Canadian encryption vendor Certicom yesterday filed a wide-ranging lawsuit against Sony, claiming that many of the products offered by the electronics giant infringe on two Certicom patents. This might sound like business as usual until you realize what's being targeted: AACS and (by extension) the PlayStation 3.

Sony strikes again...
Looks like Sony aren't the only ones who might be paying the piper.This certainly could be bad news for Sony. If there's one thing that the company doesn't want to see, it's a cost increase for PS3 manufacturing. But the bigger story is that Certicom has the potential to go after every product that uses AACS, including HD DVD and Blu-ray discs and drives from many of the deepest-pocketed companies in the business.
