Video Game Makers Sue 321 Studios
From Associated Press
Three makers of video games sued a Missouri firm marketing software that enables consumers to make backup copies of computer games.
The federal lawsuit, filed in New York, alleges that Games X Copy software by 321 Studios Inc. of St. Louis violates copyright laws by illegally cracking copy-protection systems used by game makers.
The lawsuit marks a new legal front against 321 Studios, already at legal odds with Hollywood over its DVD-copying software. The suit was filed by Atari Inc., Electronic Arts Inc. and Vivendi Universal Games Inc.
