If you had to take bets, who would you pick: Pokemon or Pirates?
We say pirates, hands down, but the obvious imbalance in power isn't stopping Pokémon USA, Inc. The "worldwide leader in trading card games" announced the results of recent anti-piracy actions taken in cooperation with Nintendo of America Inc. to combat the production and distribution of counterfeit Pokémon Trading Card Game products.
On March 26, law enforcement officials in New York raided seven stores known to be selling fraudulent Pokémon Trading Card Game merchandise. Thousands of products were seized and several arrests were made. In early April, one action at a production facility in China secured nearly 1.2 million counterfeit cards and investigations continue. We all feel much safer now.
“Pokémon wants to send a message to importers and producers that we will not stand for the distribution of fraudulent Pokémon product,†says Pokémon spokesperson, J.C. Smith. “Pokémon is committed to ensuring our fans receive the quality product they've come to expect.â€
