Activision's copy lawsuits not connected to file sharing after all |
Listed in: News Tags: Activision, lawsuits, RIAA
Ó

A series of lawsuits filed by Activision has led to speculation that the publisher is now employing tactics similar to those employed by the RIAA to crack down on file sharers.
Speculation was further fueled by Activision's choice for lead attorney: Karin Pagnanelli, who has worked on quite a few file sharing cases for clients in the music business.
Pagnanelli, though, has recently told GamePolitics that the Activision lawsuits did not involve file sharing. In an email, Pagnanelli said that they "have never filed any litigation against a file-sharer on behalf of Activision."
With file sharing discounted as a possible reason, it looks like outright selling of burned copies of pirated games is the most likely one at this point. The settlement statements of the defendants mention that they "distributed and/or reproduced a copyrighted video game".
Activision filed six lawsuits in total, with the earliest dating back to 2007. Five were settled after the defendants agreed to pay Activision sums ranging from US$ 1,000 to US$ 100,000. The most recent case, filed against James R. Strickland, is still active.

but selling of property that isnt yours is another thing
i hope they die, and burn in hell
for those file sharers, if you do come across a game you really like PAY for it
such as resistance, this could be the psps break so support it dont pirate it
