ESA gives CycloWiz modchip site the Banhammer |
Ó
Yet another chapter in Nintendo's heavily documented clampdown on piracy closes today with the shutdown of the CycloWiz modchip's website. This was made apparent when we accessed the said site and were greeted with a memo from the Entertainment Software Association (ESA).It indicated that actions had been taken against a perceived violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. Here reads part of the said memo:
The sale of circumvention devices, including modification chips, is actionable under federal law. The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 1201) ("DMCA") prohibits the manufacture, sale, import or offer to the public of any technology, product, service, device, component or part thereof that is designed to circumvent a technological measure that protects the right of a copyright owner or controls access to a work protected under federal copyright law.
ESA has a good faith belief that the IP address 207.96.32.240 (http://www.cyclowiz.com/) infringes the rights of one or more ESA members by offering for sale circumvention devices.
Just the other day, Nintendo Company Ltd. cracked the whip against several Korean sites that were illegally distributing copies of Nintendo game titles. We'll let you know if we hear any related news regarding the CycloWiz modchip or its dev team for that matter. You can read the whole memo by clicking on the Read link below.
