Activision, the publisher behind the Guitar Hero and Call of Duty games, are taking the battle over piracy to the courtroom, reports Edge.
Court filings uncovered by the European news organization allege that New Yorker James R. Strickland has "violated Plaintiff's exclusive rights of reproduction and distribution" by illicitly copying and distributing Activision's titles -- an act that the firm characterizes as "willful and intentional."
The publisher is seeking damages ranging from $30,000 to $150,000 for each of the suit's alleged violations.
GamePolitics, in researching the suit, found that Activision has been rigorously litigating file-sharers of late. Six additional suits have been uncovered by GP, many of which result in Activision "garnering big settlements from individuals who are not represented by attorneys and who, as part of their settlements, agree not to discuss the case," the site reports.
