I'm certainly not defending Nintendo, but Gary Bowser is not as innocent as he was made out to be by viral media. The guy stole FOSS code by making a closed source fork to sell for a profit, tweaked it to be malicious (bricking devices that ran homebrew software that he personally did not like, notably the FOSS competitor to his product), and explicitly advertised his stolen product as being used for software piracy (or unsanctioned copying if you're a stickler for that). Boneheaded actions like that hurt the entire homebrew scene by branding people who just want to run their own code on their own devices as criminals. Gary was in the wrong both legally and morally. It's people like him that incite action against hackers as a whole.
