    Imagine owing someone 30% of your income for the rest of your life because you had the audacity to modify people’s property that they owned with their consent. Nintendo will never see another red penny from me, entirely because of this case.

    Really glad the US government went out of their way to protect Nintendo’s right to profit off the work of their (likely US citizen) employees who probably don’t even work at the company anymore. And on the dime of the taxpayers! Feeling especially safe knowing this guy will have to struggle forever.

      Actually since Nintendo is obviously japanese (brain jumped the gun), it’s even worse, protecting mostly foreign profits on taxpayer dime against a US citizen.
