Activision, the publishers of the CoD series, are suing a man for allegedly pirating the Xbox 360 version of CoD 3. For every pirated game, they want somewhere between $30,000 to $150,000.
Here's part of the complaint:
"Plaintiff is informed and believes that Defendant, without the permission or consent of Plaintiff, has copied the Copyrighted Video Game and distributed the Copyrighted Video Game to the public."
Activision is also asking the U.S. District Court, Central District of California to enjoin the defendant from copying and distributing its games, and is demanding that Strickland destroy all copies of allegedly infringing materials.
The firm is also seeking reimbursement of legal fees.
"The conduct of Defendant is causing and, unless enjoined and restrained by this Court, will continue to cause, Plaintiff great and irreparable injury that cannot fully be compensated or measured in money," Activision's complaint added.
Reps for the publisher did not immediately respond with comment.
