Nintendo, Electronic Arts and Sega are asking for an injunction against sales and damages up to $100,000 per infringement, charging in their complaint: "Sellers have been openly and notoriously trafficking in the sale of counterfeit and unpublished video games and illegal devices....

On any day, however, Yahoo's sites offer for sale scores of illegal products."
