They probably think they are safe behind their border walls. Maybe they are. I don't know how national patents, trademarks and the like mix with international law.

ah ah...
Yes, it looks too close. I am Brazilian so I can tell you that trademarks are respect here and it is the same as USA. However as in every country, a trademark has to be filled in the country to be valid (there is no such thing as international IP rights). I do not know if Sony filled something for LBP, since its gaming division is just entering the market here.
As even soo, there is a lot of subtle differences in both designs, a case like that would be difficult to hold. Yes, it reminds the game, but in a techical point of view they are as just different as the design of the shelf from the PS3 and the Foreman grill. Both looks similar, but complete different ;-)
And the worst thing that would do is to sell more sackboys for Sony.

And so is the title for the last Banjo game in Xbox 360. That is not a trademark, the trademark would be writing the logo of the game, in the same font/characterists, etc.
You cannot trademark the use of nuts in program names.

no, the black bar is part of the program intro.
It makes a satiry from several movies, including Indiana Jones and Mission Impossible.

Insane For Sony
It's funny how their pre-rendered animation looks and animates like crap compared to realtime LBP.

Wow. That's a lot closer to LBP than I expected it to be. Hot damn.

I feel sort of indifferent here... Yeah, the shapes are similar and stuff, and yes, it is very similar to Sack Boy....
But.. I don't know. Maybe I personally just don't care but I really don't see a whole lot wrong here...
Like I said, it's probably just me. Doesn't seem so bad, I've seen worse.

It does bare a resemblance but the subtle changes really ruin the charm

I've watched this intro this weekend. I'm still amazed at how SBT did that and think it wouldn't be recognized - I smell a lawsuit soon enough.

Hey, these guys are obviously not made of the same material as Sackboy, so I don't see the problem here!
...except that they look exactly the same in every other way.
