The Entertainment and Leisure Software Publishers Association believe many Scottish gamers are using R4s brought from Internet sites and dodgy traders.
John Hillier, Manager of ELSPA's Intellectual Property Crime Unit, said, “Legitimate business is at serious risk from the R4 – retail, wholesale and manufacturers .”
“It gets around the protection built into the Nintendo DS to prevent playing of unauthorized games. The R4 in effect blinds the console and makes it think it's seeing a genuine game. Trading standards and police are finding these devices in raids on people who sell pirated games.”
Hillier also mentions that it's a criminal offense under UK copyright and patent laws to sell the R4 chip, punishable by two years in jail or an unlimited fine.
“The implications are massive. In America it's thought 90 percent of Nintendo users are playing pirated games because of R4s.” Said Hillier.
“That's the real danger – you may think you're getting a good deal but using the R4 is risking the future of the games industry."

Pero es un 'suponer solo
