Nintendo has prevailed in another legal battle in the fight against R4 cards. ChipSpain, a retailer that had been selling and distributing these products, admitted fault before the two sides entered a court room. ChipSpain acknowledged that the sale of the cards was illegal under Spanish law.
In a statement, Nintendo Spain deputy general manager Rafael Martínez Moya-Angeler said (roughly translated):
The marketing of devices that violate the protective measures of consoles and video games has led to the proliferation of illegal game downloads online. This situation has caused irreparable economic harm. Piracy is the biggest threat to creativity in this industry, so this statement is a big step forward for the gaming industry.
