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.

While the dollar amount does seem high it is more than fair compared to what some of the people sued by RIAA back in the day for illegallly downloading music!  I think one woman from my town was ordered to pay close to 2 million for having something like 30 illegal songs on her computer!  All she did was download music which millions of people do, while this guy helped faciiltate anyone who wanted to illegally download Mario to do so!  If this helps slow down piracy by making people re-think their decisions, than the dollar amount is fine!
