ELSPA threatening legal action against retailers that sell R4 cards

“There are various SD cards for the DS that illegally circumvent the copyright protection in place and allows copied games to be played. The supply of these items is an infringement and an offence under the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 and the Trade Marks Act 1994. ELSPA’s IP Crime Unit works closely with the enforcement agencies to stop this supply and prevent instances of intellectual property theft.” - ELSPA’s IP Crime Unit manager John Hillier

“We are monitoring the situation with R4 cards and working closely with our legal teams to identify any infringements on our IP and will take action where and when appropriate.” - Nintendo spokesperson

You can tell that these outfits mean business. If retailers ignore these warnings, they are going to be in for quite a rude awakening.
