Default  Square Enix Sues Over Final Fantasy Sword Replicas

Taken from front page: http://www.ffrepublic.com/news/squar...d-Replicas-546

It has been announced today that Square Enix have filed a federal lawsuit in the District of California against alleged infringers of their intellectual property.

The focus is on four wholesale retailers of unlicensed sword replicas which are found in four of their games and one CG animated film (probably Advent Children).

This is seen as a step up of SE's anti piracy enforcement as they seek to hit back at those individuals and organizations that infringe on their property:

"We are actively pursuing those who commit intellectual property infringement against our company," said Yasuhiko Hasegawa, Square Enix's General Counsel. "Any illegal activities, including the sale and distribution of unauthorized replica merchandise and counterfeit jewelry, and the unauthorized copying of Square Enix games, music, movies, images, and other intellectual property, will be prosecuted. While Square Enix appreciates the enthusiasm of its fans, and values its relationship with them, it is also obligated to protect its intellectual property rights or risk weakening or losing the very rights that enable the company to continue to provide its fans with an exciting entertainment experience"

SE do have a legitimate point though- its their property and people who infringe upon it deserved to be called out for that.
