No one is saying a slap on the wrist will do. But that doesn't mean you need to chop all his limbs off.

How about skipping the slap on the wrist and starting with something like a 500,000 dollar fine paid over a certain amount of time?
You know, a punishment the guy can actually serve during his lifetime?

well, he can start a business and earn way more than that.
Maybe putting him into prison for 5 years would be better for you guys?

Whatever the punishment is fitting or not really depend on what happen if he can't pay the fine. Jail, if so, how many years? Can he declare bankruptcy and be regelated to the cash economy for a numbers of years like with other kind of debt? 1.3 million is a big number but what actually matter is the consequence of the fine on the guy, not really the fine itself.

Australia.........Pirate............oh those two words together always will remind me of the guy that ruined his entire life for a video game.
"The Common Cold Isn't So Common During The Cold"
Glad he got caught.Pirates deserve to be punished would you like it if someone stole from you?I don't think so.God I wish they caught more of these guys.
 I am Kong.Strong and passionate, I tend to be misunderstood, sometimes even feared. I don't want to fight, I don't want to cause trouble, all I ask is a little love, and a little peace. If I don't get what I want, I get angry, and throw barrels and flaming oil at whatever's stopping me. What Video Game Character Are You? |
Yeah I'm sure he uploaded the illegal copy as 'proof to his friends' that he already got the game. XD
What a dumbass.

I can agree with that.
I have no knowledge of the Australian law, so I can't say how the guys sentence will be handled, or whether he can declare personal bankruptcy or not. But I'd at least start with something that the guy can actually accomplish without completely wrecking the rest of his life - an excessive punishment benefits no one and hurts everyone in a situation like this.

I take it you both (Rainbird and Mise) must know a lot about the justice system and suitable punishments to make such bold claims. 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.
How technical is your game?
1.3 million may seem like alot to us but if considering how many illegal copies could have been lost and how many much revenue Nintendo likely lost, it seems rather small.
