Nintendo Cracks Down on Korean Pirates |
Nintendo has asked South Korean prosecutors to investigate domestic Internet users alleged to have uploaded illegal copies of its games onto the web. Websites that host such content are also set to be probed.
According to the The Korea Times, Nintendo said Monday that it has filed a suit with the Supreme Prosecutors' Office in Seoul against an unidentified number of people / websites that allegedly violated its games copyright.
"They infringed on our copyright by posting Nintendo's game titles through the Internet without our permission," said a Nintendo spokesperson. "The legal action was taken against only some sites and users this time but we will take further measures if such a violation continues to take place."
As previously reported, there has been a proliferation of software piracy in the region since Nintendo launched its DS Lite system in South Korea in January. Although Nintendo was clearly aware of the problem before now and had brought it to the attention of prosecutors, this is the first time the company has requested that action be taken.
