Due to the PlayStation Network's recent security failure, it was only a matter of time before legal action came against Sony. Kristopher Johns, a local California man, strikes first in the legal arena by filing a class action lawsuit against the electronics conglomerate. The man appears to be taking Sony's breach of security extremely serious and is coming at them with a team of six lawyers from two separate law firms.
The legal team is alleging Sony has violated or breached the following:
(1) VIOLATION OF BUSINESS & PROFESSIONS CODE §17200;
(2) VIOLATION OF BUSINESS & PROFESSIONS CODE §17500,
FALSE OR MISLEADING STATEMENTS;
(3) BREACH OF SONG-BEVERLY CONSUMER WARRANTY ACT; AND
(4) VIOLATION OF THE CONSUMER LEGAL REMEDIES ACT;
(5) BREACH OF EXPRESS CONTRACT;
(6) BREACH OF IMPLIED CONTRACT;
(7) VIOLATIONS OF SECURITY REQUIREMENTS FOR CUSTOMER RECORDS, CIVIL CODE
