Michael Geist has reported today that "the RCMP has arrested a Quebec man after a seizure uncovered hundreds of counterfeit video games. The RCMP release states that 'modifying a console and computer is considered an illegal act under Section 342.1 of the Criminal Code and is punishable by imprisonment for up to ten years.'"
At the end of March, the RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police) raided a home in Quebec, which eventually led to the "seizure of hundreds of counterfeit video games and the arrest of one suspect." 300 games were seized and "materials used to modify consoles and illegally reproduce video games" were also taken.
