The British Entertainment and Leisure Software Publishers Association released a statement today revealing that they are working closely with Nintendo to fight the rampant Nintendo DS software piracy.

"The ELSPA Intellectual Property Crime Unit is evaluating the R4 game copying device, as it allows for the downloading and play of illegal Nintendo DS software available via the internet."

R4 is one of the first tools which enabled Nintendo DS to run pirated ROMs (games), but is not the only one.

"We are aware that Nintendo has taken actions against these devices in other countries and we are working closely with them to consider next steps in the UK."

"Broadly speaking, it is well known that ELSPA's Intellectual Property Crime Unit fights vigorously against products and devices that violate our members' intellectual property rights. This includes devices that circumvent the security of our members' products and promote the play of illegally copied software. We take great stock in ensuring this continues to be the case."
