But still, Konami is the Original Gangsta of music games with unique controllers. Viacom is kinda acting like a douchebag, IMHO.
But... this IS Viacom we're talking about here. :/

I am so glad and over-whelmed that Viamcom has enough money and resources,it today's economy to sue and bring a class action lawsuit against harmonix. They are huge duochebags and greedy bastards.
This makes absolutely no sense. When Konami sued them, they could at least point to the fact that they had invented guitar peripherals for Guitar Freaks, even if that was a stupid lawsuit. But Viacom suing Konami over Rock Revolution? The game doesn't even have its own guitar controller, it just uses other controllers from other games, controllers that are open to that thing since RB2 and GH:WT! So what are they suing over, the drums? Because Konami can just point to the fact that they've been doing Drummania for years and get off the hook. The microphone? Karaoke Revolution - which was made by Harmonix once upon a time!
Where are they going with this? And why are they kicking Rock Revolution when it's down? They stand to gain nothing by doing this!

@EggmaniMN:
Just because it's solid enough that you could use it bludgeon an adult male with it doesn't mean it's a better controller. Construction-wise it might be sturdy, but in terms of gameplay, I'm not sure how you can argue otherwise. But to each his own.

Wait...wasn't Harmonix preaching that everything should work with everything around Guitar Hero III? And now THEY'RE suing somebody?
What the fuck happened?

I'm just glad this is happening because Konami got control of In The Groove...so they could do nothing with it.

You might like playing cover songs in the Bemani song interface, and some of us like playing the real songs with charting that feels more like a real instrument. Guitar Freaks has always had charting that feels no different than pressing buttons on any other controller, whereas Rock Band and Guitar Hero at least feel similar enough to the actual songs that you can pretend you're a rock star.

It's pretty obvious that Viacom stands to gain very little from this lawsuit even if victorious, so that can mean only one thing-- they want some sweet, sweet payback. :D
Its like beating a triple amputee after he fell down a flight of stairs. I almost felt bad for them before I remembered this.
