Nintendo Asks For Government Help To Fight Piracy

Posted by Soulskill on 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."

    good to see government is being asked to tackle the big issues, like teenage girls pirating "Animal crossing".
