Responding to a U.S. Trade Representative request for comments on areas of particular concern regarding piracy, the vidgame giant urged the Bush administration to take "a more aggressive stance" toward China, Korea, Hong Kong, Brazil, Paraguay and Mexico for their involvement in counterfeiting Nintendo games and systems.
"While China remains the primary source of manufacturing pirated Nintendo games, Korea has emerged as the leader in distributing illegal game files via the Internet," the company said in a statement. "Despite aggressive antipiracy actions taken by Nintendo, Brazil and Mexico remain saturated with counterfeit Nintendo software. Meanwhile, Paraguay and Hong Kong continue to serve as major transshipment points for global distribution of illegal goods."
Of the six territories Nintendo fingered, only Hong Kong has not recently been on the USTR's radar screen for international piracy.
