A UK man was sentenced to 12 months of jail time for importing and planning to sell 26,500 DS titles. Pirates should take notice that the aforementioned person used R4 cartridges where data is stored on a Micro SD and downloaded via a flash drive. The R4 has a small slot that the Micro SD card goes into. This goes to show that even with the advances in this type of pirating, the authorities are cracking down more than ever.

“Intellectual property theft is an important issue for the country’s video games industry – as is protecting it,” said Michael Rawlinson, Director General of Entertainment and Leisure Software Publisher Association (ELSPA). “We will continue to work with the authorities to prosecute organised IP theft offenders.”

If you're one of many DS owners who've thought of using R4 cartridges, consider yourself warned.

Did the guy get in trouble for downloading the games or for trying to sell them? Although you could get in trouble for both, I bet it's a lot bigger deal if you are trying to sell them. That guy is a dumbass
