DS Pirate Jailed
Post by Steve Farrelly @ 11:18am 05/08/09 | 4 Comments
Many people and forums are already talking about the latest Firmware update for Nintendo's DSi handheld which apparently disables a number of pirate devices from working on the console, but the real stamp on Nintendo's anti-piracy policy came recently when a 38-year-old Japanese man was jailed for making more than 1000 DS games free to download for illegal use from his website.

The Kyoto-based Yoshiaki Asagiri, was handed down a sentence of two and half years in jail for copyright infringement and fined more than US$90,000 (AU$ 115,000).

Looks like a lot of companies are really clamping down on the piracy thing.

pretty dumb for the dude to use his own website... that's asking for trouble. he shoulda used a server in latvia like regular copyright infringers.

the data wants to be phree.

It's weird, it's almost like they want to protect their investment and make money off all their work

Capitalists, eh? Paging infi

I think the key in this case is:

...for making more than 1000 DS games free to download...

If he wasn't profiting, surely this is completely different to someone selling pirated works at a market and so on. Or those blokes who advertise in the Trading Post and sell 20 games for $20 or whatever, and deliver to your doorstep.

Anyway, what a dip s***. He deserves to go to jail.
