Shouldn't have been fined that much. I don't agree with pirating, but fining that much is just a disgrace, hopefully he appeals and wins.

I hope he loses.  He did the crime and he got caught.  Why should he get out of it?

Because the punishment would hurt him?

Boohoo?

I agree with Seece. It's one thing to be punished, but being punished excessively is different. I know it sets quite the example, but much less would have taught him the lesson fine and not ruined his life on top of that.

Nintendo didn't ruin his life, he ruined his own life.  The difference between him and some other guy that didn't get caught is he simply got caught.  Again, he knew what he was doing.

I'm well aware of that, and he certainly deserves a punishment. I just come with this thing called "mercy".
