Japanese police have made three arrests in Kyoto for copyright violations in relation to the sale of pirated Nintendo DS games.
The three suspects, two of whom are a mother and son, have been accused of operating a website selling SD cards containing five pirated DS games, along with the hardware required to run the games on the system.
The illegal website offered a range of DS titles ranging from free to 500 JPY (£3.50) in cost. The retail price for DS games in Japan is 3,000 to 5,000 JPY (£20 - £35).
Police discovered the site while conducting what the Japanese media termed "cyber patrols". It is the first time arrests have been made for DS piracy in the territory.
