Sophisticated technological forensics? ... "We is contact ISP and get name/address from the IP... we is 1337 haxor"
It's sad to think that's a life completely ruined simply because he did something stupid. I can imagine a settlement like that against someone who had been doing it for years with complete disregard, but a first and only timer? It's just sad the bully mentality Nintendo has developed.
Really wouldn't that all depend on the cirumstances? I'm sure being some guy named Bubba's bitch is not better than paying back money and maintaining your dignity a little.giantpune said:too bad he cant just do a bit of jail time and call it done . 2 years in the pen would be better than being in debt the rest of your life.

piracy is really hurting gaming, and releasing a game on the net 1 week before it's official release date means, a lot of people download it without buying, and it's not to "make a backup, so it's not hurt" and this stuff, it's pure piracy...
lol tell it to these guys...

I guess he didn't log-in anymore here on the 'temp because he didn't have a computer anymore?

He settled out of court, meaning he ACCEPTED the $1.5 mil fine. Nintendo probably could have hit him harder, thus why he settled. Nintendo is selling tons of copies, proving its popularity, making it easy to argue that millions of others pirated it because of him, losing them a large chunk of change. You don't get far in a business if you let asshats walk all over you. The news article is most likely to make an example of the guy, to scare off timid pirates. People take free downloads for granted these days, and this is exactly why they shouldn't. Dude got what he had coming to him.Klarkykat said:I can't get over some of the posts here. I just feel really bad for the guy. He didn't do anything out of badness. Sure he was a bit stupid doing what he did. But nintendo throwing a fine like this at him?
Fuck sake. That shitty game wasn't even worth half of that. Nintendo are making millions upon millions off this. Yet they still need to make a few more by exemplifying some poor guy who uploaded a game for the first time. We all know pirating is illegal, but nintendo's actions on it don't help. There are other ways to combat pirating other than ruining peoples lives over it.

I don't know about that
You don't need to come here to know it was KongsNutz...
The title of this topic is wrong btw.
KN is the only one who didn't pirate the game
