So… again… you have no sources other than what you think? Either offer sources that back up your claims or stop making comments that are immediately proven false.
I also did believe that they could because I misread something. That’s on me and has been edited. Next time I would also recommend trying to correct someone by acting like an adult instead of whatever this behavior is. Sorry about the mistake but you really could have addressed that with a very different attitude.
Lastly, the actual issue is a misrepresentation on how much lost revenue Nintendo gained from this man. Piracy is a factor. It is not the driving force.
Could you elaborate on “harmful to the community” part? It was mentioned in another thread that they could brick the device, but I couldn’t find any details, for now at least
Why is it weird to be mad at a multibillion dollar corporation for garnishing the wages of a disabled person’s disability benefits, simply because he was providing the means to do what you want with your device? I don’t care what the courts say. It should not be illegal to sell something that allows you to do what you want with your device. Even if that device facilitates piracy. IP isn’t real and shouldn’t exist in the first place.
I actually didn’t know they were directly selling pirated software, I thought it was only about the modding device. However, I’m glad you recognize the extremely excessive nature of the ruling. Do you happen to know why they went after a single individual instead of the whole group?
Just to be clear, you’re ok with saddling a disabled person with $14m dollar fine to a multibillion dollar corporation, for the crime of making $300k on a device that allows you to do what you want with your device? It wasn’t specifically meant for piracy, there are several good and legitimate reasons to have full control of your device.
disability benefits can’t be garnished. i think it’s ok to be mad at people for spreading misinformation even if they themselves are fighting a just cause. lies like this help nobody.

This. They’ve made up a dubious analogy between owning physical items and knowledge, and make the “burn the witch” act when you point out that it’s unsatisfactory to make laws, and there are plenty of people running around who haven’t ever made anything in their lives which would be impeded by IP, so they just support it.
I know a few people who’ve made IP-worthy things, sometimes published (small-issue), the pattern is that they are against IP (while for them I’d understand having emotional reasons to support it).

Nah, what’s weird is for you to openly lie and make shit up for no reason.

Yeah I’m going to stick with the documents that were shown in legal proceedings, thanks.

It could be that making an example is sufficient.
They can’t garnish disability benefits, they can only garnish wages.
Ok, that doesn’t make it better though.

What does the person being disabled have to do with anything?
Because he lives in
the USCanada, where it’s expensive as fuck to just exist as a disabled person.He actually lives in Canada. Your comment still applies overall as it is not feasible to live adequately on disability here but he’s not in the US.
