Japanese man picked up by cops for selling mobile phone cases that play pirated Nintendo games
No one can escape the Nintendo ninjas
Osaka police have filed charges against a Japanese man who was selling mobile phone cases that also packed in pirated Nintendo games. The cases, seen above, included a variety of pirated Famicom/NES software, including games from Taito, Nintendo, and more. The cases were being sold for 10,000 yen a piece, netting the man 2,000 to 4,000 yen per sale.
The man said he had sold 10 units so far across the span of 2 years. Nintendo and Taito claim that selling these units qualifies as copyright infringement, as games were sold without Nintendo's permission.
