Nintendo Sues California Man for Allegedly Rigging Consoles and Pirating Games

Nintendo says the defendant is also instructing players on how to use the illegal components "in a manner least likely to be caught or arouse suspicion."

Legal paper filings can be read in the attached PDF below. Mr. 'Mikel Euskaldunak' was selling modded NES Classic Min’s pre-loaded with over 800 ROM’s for only just $15 dollars more above the official retail price. He was also selling Switch units with 'payload' injector dongles and including some pirated Switch games on an MicroSD card. - Doubly wrong, and most likely will be found guilty on 9 charges.
In addition to infringing its copyrights directly, Nintendo claims Euskaldunak and countless other currently unnamed defendants are also inducing users to infringe them and are liable for contributory copyright infringement as well.

"Defendants provide users of the modification with the tools to infringe and instructions on how to use the modification in a manner least likely to be caught or arouse suspicion," writes attorney Kenneth Parker in the complaint, which is posted in full below.

Nintendo also claims the defendants are infringing and diluting its trademarks. The company is asking the court to order an injunction barring defendants from continuing to make, sell or otherwise distribute technology that circumvents its controls.
Like when Sony went after PSJailbreak and GeoHot, they have added on '100' John Doe's to this court filing, so if they get a 'ruling' they can then change the 'John Does' to real people once they have trace them down and figured out their names, etc.

I thought this was an actual store where this took place but reading the court documents he did this all through OfferUp. AHAHAHAHAHAHAH

EDIT:
Anyone remember that Peoples' Court episode over the Wii Modchip? :rofl2::rofl2:

People's Court episodes are hoax and a fake tv show.

I know it's semantics, but "Californian" sounds a lot better than "California Man". That dude had it coming, like Souljaboy will too.

i'd say the only modders that need to be caught are those that use their consoles to cheat and play games they don't have. Mods like custom backgrounds are pretty good. But that would be it. I don't think pip is a troll everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
