The lawsuit between Nintendo and Modded Hardware has been settled, with the site’s operator agreeing to a final judgment of $2 million. The proposed settlement includes a broad permanent injunction that bans operator Ryan Daly from selling, distributing, or even linking to circumvention devices such mod chips and hacked consoles. The defendant also agreed to transfer his website domain to Nintendo and destroy any remaining circumvention devices.
“Agrees” and “forced under duress” are not the same thing. An agreement before both, I think.
They were sued. Nintendo won. The people don’t have a chance against corporations.
