Three leading makers of video games sued 321 Studios Tuesday for marketing software that enables people to make copies of computer games.
The federal lawsuit, filed in New York, says that Games X Copy software, marketed by 321 Studios of suburban St. Louis, violates copyright law by thwarting anti-piracy protections.
The lawsuit represents a new legal front against 321 Studios, already at odds with Hollywood over the company’s DVD-copying software. Federal judges in New York and California have barred 321 from marketing the movie-copying software.
Tuesday’s lawsuit was filed by Atari, Electronic Arts, and Vivendi Universal Games. The lawsuit asks for a court order blocking the sale of Games X Copy and seeks unspecified damages.
