Two things I'm wondering about though.
1) if that guy was making only 30k a year, there's no way he's sitting on a pile of cash somewhere. How will he pay? What's happening if he doesn't? Will he be endebted for life or just bankrupt and start again?
2) the claim of loss of 20 to 60buck a pop is far fetched in my opinion. Have we not known for a while that 1 download does not equate to one lost sale?
- BoorishBears 5y ago1) Nintendo has made him an indentured servant. This type kind of judgement can't be erased by bankruptcy, so if he works, his wages will be garnished. If permanently unemployed normally that can't be garnished, but there are exceptions and I wonder if this type of judgement qualifies. 2) Nintendo's console can't even play ROM backups without a detailed jailbreaking process. So a prerequisite for even using the site was to have pre-emptively decided you were going to pirate. I can't believe a judge would understand that and somehow think giving Nintendo the middle of their lost revenue estimate based on every download being a missed sale was realistic or just.
