Mexican police nab over 4,500 counterfeit discs

On Friday, Mexican police stormed 12 different suspected counterfeiters. They managed to come away with 15,000 counterfeit Nintendo products, including over 4,500 counterfeit Wii discs. Going down in a major "fayuca" (contraband) market in Guadalajara, it's yet another campaign against crime in the territory as customs agents also recently nabbed over 5,000 counterfeit products entering Manzanillo, from China.

"Mexico is Nintendo's largest market in Latin America, where the problem of video game piracy is widespread," said Jodi Daugherty, Nintendo of America's senior director of anti-piracy. "Since January, Nintendo has worked with law enforcement agencies worldwide to seize 100,000 counterfeit Wii games."

so even mexico are going at it? something i thought i would never see

lol

4500 counterfeit eh, there will be more than that.

it easy for a billion dollar company like nintendo to kick down some money to the mexican police in exchange for a little enforcement. In case you guys didn't know, mexican police are as crooked as they come. now if the counterfitters were to pay off the police first, then maybe nintendo would not have had it's succesful bust. just a thought

YES I SEE YOUR REASONING!!!

People who can match a nintendo pay off sum would definitely be stealing CD's cos Wii games for one person OBVIOUSLY cost more then what a multimillion dollar corporation could offer.

BINGO!!!
