This dickhead reminds of people who get parking tickets, they take a chance breaking a law they know full well they shouldnt, they know what will happen if they get caught and then cry about when they get caught.

Though shit! You have no sympathy from me.

What if they had their feet cut ou insted of a ticket, would you still agree?

 

Well if he parked illegally 50,000 times and get caugh out I'd hope the fine would be the same.

 

 

He'd had lost his license by then :P

But really, that's different on many levels.

For one this pirate only did one ilegal action, while your guy did 50 thousand of them. Now, this action made possible another huge amount of ilegal actions, but even if you wanted to charge him exactly as much as the damage he inflicted it wouldn't be so easy (and this sum is a big strech), while in your guy's case it would be obvious.

As far as I understood, he didn't even crack the game! He just uploaded the original game. Someone else cracked it and then it was uploaded and only then these 50 thousand people downloaded it. Now, really, he's not even close to be the sole responsible here, and it's even argueable if he's the most responsible one.

Also, my point was that it's ridiculous to imagine that the sum they settled on isn't away over what Nintendo actually lost, so the fine is an overpunishment, while applying 50,000 consecutive, fair, fines for 50,000 consecute, objective, infractions as per your example wouldn't be.
