The justices, without comment, refused to consider Sony's appeal of a decision rejecting its copyright claims against Connectix, whose Virtual Game Station competes with Sony's top-selling PlayStation game console. <SNIP> Heh - apparently the judge decided that it's okay to allow reverse engineering in this case.
