Across the globe, a game firm has prosecuting innocent people for
committing to acts of piracy. Scottish couple, Gill and Ken Murdoch
were accused of file-sharing the game "Race07" created by Atari.
Even though the couple argued that they have never played a
computer game in their lives, they still received a letter informing
them of the legal actions that will intake if they do not settle with a
compensation fee. Gill at the age of 54, and her husband at the
respective age of 66 were appalled after getting the letter. After
a length of time the Atari dropped the lawsuit. Michael Coyle, an
intellectual property solicitor with law firm, Lawdit, assumed that
pirate steal or "piggyback" onto unprotected wireless services.
Gaming companies are trying to put a stop or monitor
peer-to-peer sharing networks like BitTorrent.
This article does spark the attention of individual to ask a question
whether an IP address is enough evidence. I think that companies
are taking extreme measures in trying to capture pirates and prevent further
copyright infringements.
