Game sharer hit with £16,000 judgement
19/08/2008 by swordfish.
A British file sharer who put a copy of Dream Pinball 3D up for download on the Internet, has been ordered to pay £16,000 by the courts.
Lawyers acting on behalf of games-maker Topware Interactive wrote to 500 people it claimed were illegally sharing its games on peer to peer sites, demanding they pay £340 or be taken to court.
A British woman held out against the fine, but at a civil hearing in the patents county court in London a judge ordered her to pay £6,000 in damages to the games company, and cover their £10,000 lawyers’ fee.
The case represents an escalation of the videogame industry’s campaign against file sharers.
