Aussie NSMB Wii pirate suffers $AU1.5 million fine

[WildWon]

It's true that its not the staff's responsibility to babysit it's users, but this type of preventable stuff makes GBAtemp look like a bunch of warez kiddies. And brings a lot of attention negative attention here. But if thats the way the Admins want the site to be run then go for it.

There's all kinds of preventable actions that could have been done for all kinds of situations, but this falls into the "20/20 hind-site" category. Now, if GBAtemp were for Warez Kiddies, we wouldn't still be operating. We would have been closed down long ago, as has happened with many other sites. So it's obvious that the admins don't want that, and have done a good job of keeping it that way

So what you're saying is that we exist in the grey area between legitimacy, and illegitimacy, right?

Not at all. I'm saying that illegitimate sites get shut down. We are a legitimate site that has been running for years, and the whole "warez kiddie" thing is a false example of this site.

Do you reckon they've given him a payment plan? Like $500 a month for the next hundreds of years =p

We should totally set up a fund for him to help him pay off the debt! If everyone donated like a couple of $, he could totally pay them of *nods*

a little late now for kongsnutz : /

That has nothing to do with kongsnutz or this situation at all. He lives in Australlia for one.


US Laws don't mean squat there. But also that clause is to cover that website's ass (and is a shoddy job of it) not to protect users.

Depends on the server's location.

ifish, there's no point arguing with a wall. You're just playing into his hand.

junkerman, you were obviously not born with common sense or respect. Or a good vocabulary for that matter.

Both of you, I suggest you stop. It's off topic.

Anyway, I think a small donation fund would be nice. Helping a 'temper out + fighting the man = donations.

GTFO No one talks like that.

Alright. Topic closed now. This topic either seems to be devolving into slagging matches or it keeps repeating itself. In either case, no reason to keep it open.
