computer game piracy

The huge demand for the latest titles across multiple platforms means that video games are very much susceptible to piracy and copyright infringement. Although traditionally thought of as a ‘safer’ industry in terms of piracy, with unique modes of distribution such as tapes, custom floppy disks and cartridges, the rise of CD, DVD and now digital downloads as the medium of choice for distribution means that video games are an easy target for those who wish to unlawfully pirate video games. As such computer games account for a large percentage of the files currently circulating on peer-to-peer networks.
