Pirate pays Nintendo $1.6 Million Settlement

<< < (3/3)

I agree there is something odd about it. I think we noted in this thread that it was an out of court settlement, not a judge's ruling.

  Exactly. He'll never be able to pay that and Nintendo knows it. They probably agreed to let him off on a much smaller fine and publically flaunt the "1.6 million" figure to scare off other, would-be pirates. That would also explain why Nintendo forbids him from saying anything about the dispute.

I saw this guy on the news this morning, I was very shocked... I laughed when the guys said 1.6 mil... I thought he had messed up :/ this takes the piss... it won't stop people pirating... it just makes Nintendo look like dicks.

I think it's more like giving a 75 Year old a life sentance. They obviously won't serve the full amount, but they still get the sentance.

This guy will probably have to give up 10% of his pay for the rest of his life or something like that. He might never get to the full amount, but he still gets the punishment.

IF it's all kosher.
