Nokia Says Its N-Gage Copy Protection Hacked
Wed Nov 12, 7:16 AM ET
HELSINKI (Reuters) - The world's largest mobile phone maker Nokia (news -
web sites) said on Wednesday hackers have cracked the copy-protection codes
for its newly launched N-Gage gaming device, allowing copied games to be
downloaded over the Web.
The setback comes just over a month after the Finnish company launched the
much-hyped game phone in a bid to gain a foothold in the portable gaming
market.
"We take this very, very seriously and have initiated an aggressive program
to stop the people that are behind these (intellectual property rights)
violations," Nokia Mobile Phones spokesman Damian Stathonikos told Reuters.
