Contract disputes can result in profound feelings of alienation or hostility by one or more parties to a contract and very often stem from an honest misunderstanding. Resolving them can be a long and arduous process and expert advice can be very helpful in navigating a very difficult and time consuming process.

Great appellate work can often settle cases favorably without litigation. Trial offers many concerns to all parties and it is costly and time consuming. However the increased exposure may be desired by one or both parties. A skilled personal injury attorney can devise ways to win cases and avoid trial. Attentive, considered and assertive appellate work can offer a great alternative.

Damages in a contract dispute case are calculated based on what would be needed to restore the inured party to a level, called the expectation measure. This is the level the injured party would have been expected to be at provided the contract had been fulfilled according to its terms. A great Illinois litigation attorney will always try to get their clients to the above level. If restoring a party to the above measure is not possible, the court may attempt to restore the injured party to the state prior to the contract.

Owners of bricked systems file suit on behalf of everyone who downloaded system update 3.0 or 3.01; demand unspecified damages.

The ability of console makers to update their systems’ firmware has a number of benefits, as evidenced by the continually expanding capabilities of the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Wii. However, the updating of firmware on all three platforms is sometimes associated with reports of systems being broken by the updates, or "bricked."

In some cases, the owners of ruined consoles do more than make angry message board posts about their misfortune. In late 2006, an Xbox 360 owner sued Microsoft over a system update rendering his console inoperable. That suit was dismissed in mid-2007 when Microsoft and the plaintiff reached an agreement out of court.

Now it’s Sony’s day in court, as last week a pair of PlayStation 3 owners who had their systems bricked by the September 3.0 and 3.01 firmware updates filed suit agianst the company. The two gamers–one from Texas, the other from Iowa–allege that the updates caused PS3s to malfunction, with problems including loss of controller use, malfunction of the Blu-ray drive, and bricking of consoles. When they contacted Sony’s customer service representatives, the pair were told that the system failures were coincidental and unrelated to the system update. Furthermore, Sony would charge them a repair fee of $150 in order to fix the systems.

Something that comes up from time to time in the gaming world is faulty products. Or potentially faulty products. Most recently, it seems to be Halo 3: ODST at the center of the issue (which, for the record, I’ve had no trouble with thus far), but the issue has touched numerous games, including Guitar Hero III, and consoles. While most people might lump all this together into ’stuff that’s broken,’ the reality is it touches two legal topics: warranty and products liability.

To make the distinction between the two simple, a warranty makes sure you get a working product, and products liability makes the manufacturer liable for damages the product may cause because of defects.

In 2007, a Korean company called Fantom started distributing a music video (Sonata of Temptation) by K-Pop star IVY that contained an unauthorized live-action scene-for-scene adaptation of a scene from Advent Children.

Square Enix filed an injunction and the Seoul Central District Court ordered Fantom to cease distribution and sales of the video in April, 2007. In March of the following year, it then decided that Fantom should pay approximately $250,000 in damages to Square Enix.

A jury in Rhode Island found Microsoft violated a patent held by Uniloc used to protect against software piracy, a copy of the jury’s findings showed Wednesday.

The jury awarded Uniloc US$388 million in the case, double the estimated damages caused by infringing the patent.
