Pirate Ordered To Pay Nintendo $1.5 Million

Nintendo sent out a press release today triumphantly boasting of victory in an Australian court over a man accused of pirating New Super Mario Bros. Wii. And how this single man now owes the mega-rich company $1.5 million. Last November, Nintendo says it was able to “employ the use of sophisticated technological forensics” to catch the man, James Burt, who has been convicted of uploading the word’s first pirated copy of New Super Mario Bros. Wii onto the internet.(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); Burt – a single man, not a yono all app company or group – now must pay the Japanese publisher and platform holder AUD$1.5 million (USD$1.3 million), “to compensate Nintendo for the loss of sales revenue caused by yono all app the individual’s actions.” Yes, he broke the law. And as a pirate, should be punished. But this is a game that’s sold over 10 w69 slot million copies in just three months. https://kotaku.com/nintendo-game-sales-mario-pokemon-zelda-selling-mill-5458562 Nothing like a little disproportionate punishment to maintain that lovable image, eh Nintendo?
