The Entertainment and Leisure Software Publishers Association, according to MCV, is looking at the possibility of removing flashcart retailers in the UK. Their point is that a flashcart can be used to work around the copyright protection, which can open the door for piracy.

quote:
"The supply of these items is an infringement and an offence under the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 and the Trade Marks Act 1994. ELSPA’s IP Crime Unit works closely with the enforcement agencies to stop this supply and prevent instances of intellectual property theft."

Certainly interesting news, and something to keep an eye on if you are one of our UK readers.
