If only the legal system would also fine companies many times their earning potential for their infractions.
Well they should have fined Facebook for the Cambridge Analytica scandal, a couple of trillions. That would have taught a lot of companies about
ethicshow to not lose all your money.Instead we issue paltry fines to corporations. Simply, because we have convinced the public that corporations are job creators. Who doesn’t love a job creator!?
Me. The people that created my job are fucking morons and have no business creating jobs
Legally, he’s not allowed to mess around with modern gaming hardware.
I find these things very disgusting. Not sure if that extends to computers in general. But courts can and have basically prevented “hackers” from taking part in modern life or use the skills they are good at to make ends meet.
No one seems to be enforcing that part of his sentence, judging by the fact he recently came out with a new flashcard for the Nintendo switch, and people already found proof he is behind it
he also, improbably, shares it with Nintendo of America’s current president, Doug Bowser
Nintendo really has a thing for Bowsers. They arrested one, and have another as its CEO.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
He got briefly caught up with the law during a stint fixing games consoles at flea markets, which nearly implicated him alongside vendors who sold pirated movies.
It was here that Bowser – who, in a case of nominative determinism that feels almost too trite to acknowledge, shares a name with Super Mario’s in-game antagonist – started becoming the face of Nintendo piracy.
In the late 00s he made contact with Team Xecuter, a group that produces dongles used to bypass anti-piracy measures on Nintendo Switch and other consoles, letting them illegally download, modify and play games.
While he says he was only paid a few hundred dollars a month to update their websites, Bowser says the people he worked with weren’t very social and he helped “testers” troubleshoot devices.
“And suddenly I wake up and see three people surrounding my bed with rifles aimed at my head … they dragged me out of the place, put me in the back of a pickup truck and drove me to the Interpol office.”
While inside, Bowser couldn’t always get the medical attention he needed, he claims, and even when he did, the realities of prison still exacerbated his health issues – he has elephantiasis in his left leg.

Don’t donate too much, Nintendo’s gonna take that shit.
Dude needs to move to a country without Nintendo jurisdiction and restart the GoFundMe. I’d give the dude $100. Fuck Nintendo over that.
He only has to pay 20% of his left over after expenses like rent.
And if the GoFundMe reaches the amount he owes, he’ll be a free man.
Stop defending Nintendo here.
