Nintendo On the Hunt For More Scalps
rjch writes "After its recent win against mod chip piracy in the Australian Federal courts, Nintendo is now on the prowl for other companies to sue. 'Nintendo will pursue those who attempt to jeopardise the gaming industry by using all means available to it under the law. In particular, Nintendo is currently contemplating bringing further actions against other sellers of game copying devices in Australia.' The game company said since 2008 it had pursued over 800 actions in 16 countries to stop game piracy, confiscating 'well over' half a million game copiers for the Nintendo DS. The company said piracy affected sales, the price of video games, and employment in the video game industry."
Reader daria42 sends in a related piece asking whether Nintendo is being too harsh over this and the recent $1.5 million settlement with a man who leaked New Super Mario Bros. Wii.
Sorry guys, but I agree with Nintendo fighting the copy devices... I am generally favorable to free movements and all, but out of curiosity are the guys giving the copy devices away for free??? No? So they are not defending freedom at all, they're just earning MONEY the easy way. Not too different from thiefs.
If that's what he wanted, then why the hell didn't he just buy a PS3 instead of a X360?
My sig became obsolete, and I lack the imagination to create a new one.
