videogame filesharing called out

While filesharing news mostly focuses on music and movies, one area that is often overlooked is videogames. Videogames often appear on filesharing networks for free downloads. You can get everything from old Dreamcast games to the latest Nintendo DS roms through filesharing and BitTorrent.

The latest videogame news is that four people who shared the game Dream Pinball 3D on a filesharing website have been ordered to pay fines of £2,750 each.

Not only that, but the legal team for the people behind the game have said that they are going after 1,000 more people who shared the game over filesharing networks. If you have a copy of the game, you’d better watch your back.

The four are accused of violating copyright laws. The game itself sells for £16. It’s not even that good of a game, so those filesharing four must really be kicking themselves for this whole debacle.
