Early last month, Team Xecuter's Gary Bowser pleaded guilty to charges of trafficking in circumvention devices and conspiracy to circumvent technological measures, resulting in a $4.5 million fine, destruction of property relating to Team Xecuter, and possible jail time. That plea deal was for his federal lawsuit, which is separate to the civil case filed against him by Nintendo of America. The final judgement for that suit came down today, hitting him with another $10 million fine, and ordering a permanent injunction against him from reactivating the Team Xecuter website or utilizing the SX OS, Gateway3DS, or similar brands in any way.

i'm not sure, it seems kinda unfair to burden just the one guy when team xecuter ultimately was more people and all that, including resellers and customers and such.

JUSTICE!!!!

what an ironic thing to say with a signature like yours , or let me guess you want all your consoles to be able to emulate nes and snes, right?

Nintendo is well within it's rights to do this, what i'd like to know is how can there be 2 seperate cases by nintendo, but one federal and one civil for what seems to be the same offense? i'm not that well versed in (american) law but it seems silly

Because he was the shipper. He took care of the logistics etc. He used O-P-A.biz to sell their inventory.

 

[KlariNoX]

Fuck nintendo

 

[pwjpssdfvqyuhweuxx]

Lol, 10 mil. how is he supposed to pay for that?
I would have probably just moved out of the country or end myself.

i mean, clearly he's an example case, but it still seems unfair to not scale this by how big a cog a person was and such

 

[eriol33]

That's the amount of 166666 copies of super Mario Odyssey

He did leave the country, actually. He was extradited from the Dominican Republic I think

Was not tried for the same thing and at stated Federal and Civil Courts

Alright, but what would've been the problem of making it into one case? As in all complaints / items done in 1 go? Or can some things only be done by federal and other things only by civil?

He'll just file for bankruptcy and the fines will disappear.

This was nothing but a "fuck with us and we'll fuck with you" case
