Switch pirate dodges Nintendo's multimillion-dollar lawsuit
Switch pirate dodges Nintendo's multimillion-dollar lawsuit
Jesse Keighin has defiantly doubled down in the high-staked lawsuit, avoiding being served. Now Nintendo wants to serve the streamer’s grandma.
- Streamer played multiple pirated games online before release;
- Nintendo is seeking damages which could total millions;
- Nintendo lawyers have attempted to serve him papers;
- He has avoided being formally served multiple times now;
- He has bragged online about evading action so far;
- Now Nintendo want to serve via his family members;
- Nintendo has a ton of evidence;
- The court needs to decide how to proceed.
Consent manufacturing for fucking Nintendo on intellectual property lawsuit is fucking wild.
I am not USAmerican, how does serving legal documents to a relative work?
Is not the point of "serving" someone to prove that they have received the documents?i think part of the weirdness is that this is civil court, not criminal court. so it gets to be a bit looser in terms of process.
It will be really cool if some 38-year-old manchild going out of his way to ask Nintendo to sue him is what allows them to squash the emulation scene
The switch emulation scene is already pretty dead.
There's a fork of Ryujinx by Greemdev that is seeing development right now, so there might be hope still.
I mean establish legal precedent against emulating not just the Switch but all consoles with technological protection measures, fuck I'm tired of hearing that phrase. Dolphin, for example, would immediately have Nintendo's lawyers jumping down their throat
Why? Emulation is good.
