    Person is in Canada and has disability insurance as well as government benefits. Unless the articles are wrong in saying disability insurance.

    Still don’t see how it’s relevant to the story about being fined. Would be the same story for anyone disability or not.

      OP corrected me, and I edited my comment to reflect the correction. Still don’t see how it’s weird to be upset about a company fining the everliving fuck out of a private citizen because the company is anti-ownership.

        Because this group actively endorsed and profited from piracy. They made it a job instead of a hobby. Don’t profit from it, that’s like the one thing you don’t do, and they did it.

        Not really a private citizen anymore at that point if you’re making a business.

          Ok, so Nintendo should sue the group/company he was a part of and not the individual. The device was for hacking/modding. The fact that pirates used it too is incidental. Nintendo ships games in which you can’t even play 4/5 of the game due to a game breaking bug. The only way to access the rest of the game is to mod your ds to get past the bug. There’s also software preservation aspects so we don’t lose our digital history.

          Honestly, fuck Nintendo. You don’t own software even if you buy it, so I’d argue that it’s not theft to use software without paying. But I digress.
