Electronic Arts' sports head Peter Moore may not be terribly popular with PC sports gamers thanks to his controversial decision this year to cut most PC ports from EA Sports' 2009 line up. However Moore has now come out against going after PC game file-shares via lawsuits.

Moore made these comments because of a report in the UK earlier this week that five developer/publishers (Atari, Topware Interactive, Reality Pump, Techland and Codemasters) sent word to 25,000 UK residents to pay a £300 settlement fee for downloading their games without paying for them.

Moore, however, doesn't believe in such tactics telling Gamesindustry.biz that while he is against PC game piracy, "I'm not a huge fan of trying to punish your consumer. Albeit these people have clearly stolen intellectual property, I think there are better ways of resolving this within our power as developers and publishers." Moore believes that the music industry suffered from similar tactics and, "Speaking personally, I think our industry does not want to fall foul of what happened with music."
