Dream game cause filesharing misery

Dream Pinball 3D. That name ring any bells? Sounds like a pretty average PC game. And yes, it is. However, it might just end up being the world’s most expensive pinball videogame for one UK woman, who has found herself in the middle of a filesharing debacle after being ordered to pay about $32,000 for sharing the game over filesharing networks.

The woman, who remains unnamed, was taken to court by Topware and ordered to pay a fine and costs. It’s alleged that the woman made the game available for download over P2P filesharing networks.

However, the pinball fiasco doesn’t stop there as there are another 100 people in the firing line who are suspected of uploading the game to filesharing networks. This is something of a landmark case in the UK and could well pave the way for similar rulings in the future.
