Shinano Kenshi, the parent company of Plextor, has sent letters to the developers of
PxScan and
PxLinux. They are accusing the developers for trademark and copyright violations. PxScan and it's Linux version is an open source tool for analyzing the quality of a DVD utilzing Plextor drives. It features are similar to Plextor's own
PlexTools disc analyses.
It is very hard to see what is Plextor's point here. Free third party tool
Kprobe has done nothing but good to LiteON drives, and like Kprobe the PxScan could very well be a reason for buying a Plextor drive if the consumer is interested in quality tests.
