Chongqing: Jail for Mir 2 Games Pirate

 

A local resident surnamed Lu was sentenced to three years in jail with four years' probation and fined 50,000 yuan ($8,060) for setting up private servers for the popular online game Mir 2. The game was developed by two South Korean companies, and its copyright in China was exclusively licensed to Shanghai-based Shanda Corp. Lu started to provide a pirated version of the game in early 2010 using rented servers, and had illegally made 570,000 yuan by 2012.
