In order to crack down on the increasing trend of software piracy, Nintendo has compiled a list of the most lackadaisical countries in the fight for protecting video game products against piracy. Nintendo has called on the United States to help the fight against these countries.China, Korea, Brazil, Mexico, Spain and Paraguay are all listed as pirate hot spots. Their lack of control, inability to establish proper anti-pirating laws and the import of illegal products all contribute to their growth. During a random raid at 10 premises in Korea, officials obtained more than 75,000 game copiers.
Nintendo also attributes the rise and ease of piracy to the availability of "game copiers" and "mod chips."
Regardless of your feelings of pirating, you have to admit its effect on the music industry was crippling. Let's hope that doesn't happen to the gaming industry!
