Gamespy bericht dat de bovengenoemde 3 spelletjes makers Yahoo aanklagen. Vanwege de kennis die Yahoo heeft over de verkoop van illegale spulletjes...in an unprecedented joint action, three leading videogame companies today filed a joint lawsuit in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California against Yahoo! for the sale of illegal and counterfeit videogame products. The suit seeks an injunction against Yahoo! to halt the auctions and sales of counterfeit computer and video games and illegal devices designed to circumvent copyright protection. The suit also seeks damages as compensation for the lo es caused by the illegal sale of their products. This action represents the first time members of the interactive entertainment industry have filed suit against an online retailer. The lawsuit alleges that Yahoo! directly profits from the sale of illegal goods on its site, is fully aware of the illegal activity, and has the resources and technological means to prevent it. Under applicablelaw, Yahoo! is legally liable for the infringing activity it is facilitating. Specifically, the suit charges Yahoo! with copyright and trademark infringement, offering illegal devices for sale to the public, and unfaircompetition . The companies contend that Yahoo! is not a "pa ive" provider of services, has actual knowledge of illegal activity, and profits from revenue generated by its auction and retail activities.Ja zo zie je, een kat in het nauw maakt rare sprongen.......
