>A lawyer for the Department of Justice told a judge that the man sentenced to pay $4.5 million to Nintendo in a piracy case would be resigned to a "socially isolated and financially destitute" life.
>Gary Bowser was treated by some as a funny headline, because a man named Bowser worked with the most prominent Nintendo Switch piracy crew and ultimately became the defendant in a criminal case. However, the reality of his case, and of his 40 month sentence, is anything but. A newly released court transcript, first reported by Axios, shows that Nintendo and the DOJ sought to harshly punish Bowser to make an "example" of him and an unwilling symbol of our punitive, carceral approach to piracy.
>The recently released court transcripts paint an unflattering picture of Nintendo of America as insecure and unnecessarily punitive. Patel goes as far as to acknowledge the fact that they are not only inflicting a three year prison sentence upon him, but that following his release, "he will be socially isolated and financially destitute." A situation that the DOJ admits is "very similar to [his situation] when he initially was introduced to Team Xecuter."
UMMMM TENDIES? CARE TO EXPLAIN WHY YOU SUPPORT THOS DYSTOPIAN MEGACORP???

Logan Morales

Jack Davis
Punishment must be fair to the crime in order to be just.

Asher Myers

Brody Moore

Carter Lee
>Bowser is the name of the iconic Mario series villain character >Bowser is the name of the guy that currently serves as president of Nintendo of America >Bowser is the name of the guy who was legally punished into paying $4.5 Million and serve three years in prison for Nintendo Switch piracy >Bowser is a pump or tankard used to dispense fuel and other liquids What did Nintendo mean by this?
Did you buy those games that you pirated? You only bought the console.
Jackson Butler
>Buy hardware >Legally can't mod it >Even though I fucking paid for it to begin with Fuck off Nintendo Simps it's my fucking console and I'll mod it however I please
Gabriel Hall

Mason Richardson

Lucas Hernandez

Xavier Cooper

Wyatt Howard

Charles Price
>guy who took other people's shit and made you pay for it and if you pirated it it'd brick your system (the irony) >nooo this poor baby! he dindu nuffin! lmao
Resetera is absolutely seething over this, they want to cancel Nintendo now
Justin Watson
why do you guys unironically defend this shit? want to you gain from defending million dollar companies from criticism from strangers online. aren’t we supposed to work together and stick it to the big man?
Jaxon Rodriguez
You people are defending billion dollar corporations who don't get money out of this, it's just to send a message like mob bosses do.
Zachary Miller
>Any Forums: Hates niggers >also Any Forums: Defends nigger behavior
Tyler Parker
>cancel Nintendo HA
Xavier Morgan
I think all major companies should crack down more in piracy. More DRM, more brutalizing criminals and more work into making it hard to copy and distribute ROMs. The saltier pirates get, the happier I am.
Ayden Johnson
The law does not exist to "set examples" holy fuck
Kevin Jones
Isn't that the whole idea behind deterrence theory though?
Kayden Rogers
The fuck you talking about Any Forums was always pro-piracy. Only recently did some switch fags decide to bootlick. Even the 3ds and other systems people freely talked about pirating.
Logan Diaz
Maybe stop stealing shit that isn't yours nigger
Michael James
I legitimately don't give a fuck about the fate of some loser making a living from stolen intellectual property. I don't give a fuck about most people, why should I start now malding reseterannies?
Daniel Bell
Any Forums is literally the only board that genuinely has people against piracy
Any Forums doesnt have it Any Forums doesn't have it Any Forums doesn't have it /lit/ doesn't have it
and so on
Xavier Phillips
Think twice before you pirate that game bro...
Joshua Sanchez
Why are you entitled to assume that you would have made a $60 mil profit has your games not been pirated?
Thomas Ortiz
SO LONG GARY BOWSER
Kayden Martin
Make me faggot.
Anthony Ward
Nintendo of (((America))) =/= Nintendo of Japan
Ethan Bennett
Maybe if games were good and reasonably priced we wouldn’t stoop so low
Ryder Johnson
Where do you people come from? I'm partly convinced you're bots. In threads about Nintendo games you never show up even when they talk about piracy or other shit you clearly hate. Only shit like this do you ever show up. I'm convinced you make up these threads too.
