Asian piracy is something that is known the world over. Documentation of pirated software exists in the Philippines, Honk Kong and just about everywhere else imaginable. Now, word comes that Nintendo's
previous efforts to thwart piracy in Korea have gone ignored and Nintendo, as you can imagine, isn't very happy about it.
Involving Korean sites that had downloads for illegally-copied DS games, Nintendo has officially submitted a request to the
Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office. Nintendo plans on taking further action, whatever that may be, should the company be ignored again.
Won't those pirates ever learn?

Just wait as all companies switch from manufacturing in China to Korea. Oh wait as related to games I say the culture of undermining the high bar of America cultivated piracy.

Sorry I didn't flesh it out properly. As a means to cut out costs companies farmed out manufacturing to Asia. American companies didn't have to pay as much as manufacturing in American plants, paying American workers, and adhering to American quality standards. Asian companies cared about the profit first and cut out much of the laborer cost as well as safety and standards. This low standard of manufacturing creates a culture that manufactured goods are not very valuable so they see no problem in not paying the "exorbitant" rates of the legitimate or import products.

"Honk Kong" is really a typo that would best be fixed.

It hasn't truly gone wild unless it involves some drunken girls taking their shirts off.

Honk Kong sounds like a trucker's handle.
@4 I totally agree with you.
