I'd love to know how you both came to the conclusion that this punishment is far too severe and he doesn't deserve it. This man chose to break the law, he was caught and ordered to pay compensation for the damage he caused the company. The loss of potential sales and revenue was a direct result of this individuals actions; the long term damage goes beyond Nintendo themselves and it was revealed that future release dates for Australia may be hurt because of this. Or are you going to tell me he has not in fact caused much damage? If so, please elaborate on that. Justice has been served and the law has spoken. We can go on all day about how harsh it is to "end this mans life" but i shall direct you to some words that seemed to have gone ignored previously: If you cannot do the time then do not do the crime. |
In terms of punishement, the fine imposed on this man will take away the chance of him having any life EVER. So if you can justify that a lifelong financial distruction is justifiable when a drunk driver killing someone will be back on his feet before this guy.
I don't beleive a finincially based result is the correct punishment. If this man made a monetary gain, then a financially based punishment would be appropriate. Since this is not the case, it should be considered in line with other theft charges and have a jail term that lines up with other crimes.
