Federal agents on Wednesday raided businesses, storefronts, and residences in 16 states in a crackdown on the importation of illegal devices used to play counterfeit video games, InformationWeek reported. Following a year-long investigation, federal agents executed 32 search warrants in the largest federal effort against trafficking in illegal devices used to circumvent copyright protections in video games and other software played on consoles, the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement said. The illegal hardware, which was made overseas and imported into the United States, played counterfeit software on Sony's PlayStation 2, Microsoft’s Xbox and Xbox 360, and Nintendo's Wii.
