The Korean Times is reporting that the Korean branch of Nintendo has filed suit against several websites over copyright issues. The suits come just nine months after Nintendo first opened up the Korean market (officially) with the introduction of the Nintendo DS. From the article:
"'They infringed on our copyright by posting Nintendo's game titles through the Internet without our permission,' a Nintendo spokesperson said. 'The legal action was taken against only some sites and users this time but we will take further measures if such a violation continues to take place.' She declined to comment on how many sites and people are involved in the piracy suit. The legal action came after Mineo Koda, the Japanese chief executive of Nintendo Korea, had expressed concern about the lingering problem of piracy in South Korea that he said would pose a challenge to his company's business here."

Nintendo recently launched a brand new Nintendo.com to support the continued success of Nintendo DS and Wii. During that process, we closed the Nintendo NSider Forums message boards indefinitely.

Lots of people want to know if the NSider Forums are coming back. We had a lively community and we know many of you miss those old forums. At this time their future remains uncertain, and we continue to invite our fans to build on the spirit of community by starting their own Nintendo discussion sites.

We are pleased to announce the launch of Nintendo's Tech Support Forums, a place for peer-to-peer support for consumers' technical needs. Nintendo may provide answers from time to time as well.

We welcome your wise and technical knowledge in our Tech Support Forums. People from all walks of life will post questions about connecting their Wii to the internet, navigating the many Wii Channels, setting up the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection for their Nintendo DS and many more topics. If you've got the answers, we'd love to see you on the Tech Support Forums and we appreciate your support in keeping these forums focused on technical issues.

Click here to enter Nintendo's Tech Support Forums.

Nintendo has the greatest fans in the world, and we thank you for your continued support.

Nintendo of America Inc.

Well, the only problem I can see with this site is the fact that we FC is technically making money off of Nintendo. FC gear is bought here by people who were attracted here by Nintendo. So in a way, it is taking Nintendo's money.
