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.

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.
