To risk veering off topic, the Nintendo thing gets a bad rep due to how it was reported on when it really is the sort of thing you'd expect HN types to be on board with. The guy stole FOSS code, tweaked it to be malicious (bricking devices that ran homebrew software that he personally did not like), closed off the source code to his tweaks, and sold it for a profit while explicitly advertising it as being used for software piracy. 10M is surely a bit much but the guy was pretty flagrantly wrong both legally and morally.
