Nintendo Asks For Government Help To Fight Piracy

Posted by Soulskill on Wednesday February 25, 2009 @11:53PM from the send-more-cannon-and-parrot-poison dept.

Nintendo, in its annual report to the USPTO, has requested help in dealing with piracy overseas, both from the US government and from several other countries in particular. China, Korea, Brazil, Mexico, Spain, and Paraguay are listed as the greatest contributing nations to piracy of the company's products. Nintendo suggests, for example, that "Chinese customs officials must stop shipments of game copiers and other infringing products out of China, and China should work in the coming year to eliminate barriers to its enforcement laws," and that "the Spanish government implement laws protecting the creative copyright industry and enact laws against Internet piracy."

It doesn't matter how it affects their product
Of course it does. Since the effect is zero either way, why don't you get off your high horse already?
This does not give you a right to go in and steal their product.
Copyright infringement != stealing, dumbass. Do you also tell people that break the speed limit to stop committing arson?
