I'm asking this question because I don't know the answer - when did the Justice Department get in the business of enforcing patents for corporations? Isn't that the responsibility of the patent owner?
I get the feeling that this is just harrassment, and I can't see where "protecting the economy" extends to protecting us from knock-off games that aren't going to do us physical harm. If it is harrassment, why are they focusing on this store owner? Does this mean that Homeland Security is going to start rounding up the guys in Chicago and NYC that sell fake designer clothes on the street corners?
I'd love to hear any answers that anyone has, because this is all too confusing for me.
