Sam Chan, over at gearfuse, reports that LG has taken pre-emptive action against rip-offs of its uber-stylin’ LG SHINE phones. “Replicas” can hurt sales of popular phones, even before they start shipping. So LG made the move to squash the possibility of any “replica” gaining enough popularity to cut into LG SHINE revenues – by sending out ceast and desist letters. These letters were sent to electronics boutiques in Hong Kong over the weekend, demanding that they take clones off their shelves or risk a legal battle. Of course the small shops quickly complied to giant LG’s demands. Way to be proactive, LG! You really showed those “Shiner” manufacturers who’s boss!
