Is that some sort of narrow legal definition, or is he actually declaring that he's really never heard of SCEA and didn't know they were located in California?
That seems highly unbelievable and a bit ridiculous.
For example, searching for "sony playstation" and visiting the first link takes you to http://us.playstation.com/ which is an SCEA website as listed at the bottom of the page.
That's why I was asking. If it means something more like "I've never dealt with them personally or contractually", well then sure. But "never had knowledge of their existence" seems a stretch. Anyway, of course IANAL, etc.
Of course, I've been boycotting Sony since the rootkit. They've yet to give me a reason to stop. Just yesterday, I went out to replace my broken digital camera. Sony's cameras weren't even considered.
