Topware Interactive has won more than £16,000 following legal action against the woman who shared a copy of Dream Pinball 3D.
Damage awards from cases against three other suspected sharers of the game are also pending.
The test cases could kick off thousands more against other Britons suspected of sharing the same title online.
'Thousands' more
In the case heard at London's Patents County Court the game maker won damages of £6,086.56 plus costs of £10,000.
"The damages and costs ordered by the Court are significant and should act as a deterrent," said David Gore, a partner at Davenport Lyons who acted for Topware.
He added: "This shows that taking direct steps against infringers is an important and effective weapon in the battle against online piracy."
