  > They'll even consider time spent in "jail" as part of your sentence. True, but kinda irrelevant to the point being made? @bogwog specifically claimed that Nintendo's actions earned a 27-year-old a "prison sentence" (their words, not mine). That implies a trial, conviction, and sentence. @AussieWog93, when fact-checking, was clearly skeptical of the conviction and sentencing aspect: "sent to prison" would be a pretty unusual thing to say when talking about being arrested and put in jail pre-trial. The point is that someone said, in effect, "Nintendo got someone convicted and sent to prison". Someone else said "Hmm, I looked into this and couldn't find any evidence that it went that far". Yes, the guy may have spent some time in jail pre-trial (assuming there even was a trial; it's possible charges were dropped), and that's still super shitty, but it is orders of magnitude less shitty than being convicted of a crime and sentenced to a prison term.
