Square Enix is reportedly taking legal action against a lone French retailer for allegedly selling pirated Square merchandise. la société SAKURA, the retail store, operates in Paris and online, specializing in Anime/Manga/Japanese gaming merch.

Square Enix' suit's basis is that: [Square] "denounces SAKURA for the commercialization of products counterfeiting Square Enix's FINAL FANTASY and FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST trademarks and copyrights to the FINAL FANTASY series".

Anybody else selling pirated Squeenix stuff out there? You might want to close shop now.

I believe the word is 'counterfeit' merchandise.



Please learn to use english properly before you start posting articles in it.

The word was used correctly. By definition, pirate means:



"a person who uses or reproduces the work or invention of another without authorization."



So it's really just another synonym for counterfeit, bootleg, etc.
