Aussie NSMB Wii pirate suffers $AU1.5 million fine

[misteromar]

Wow he is going to be in debt for the rest of his life paying off that fine.

That's just scary. Now we know for sure that we have people signed up keeping an eye on things around here.

Man, I hope this doesn't hurt GBATemp's rep and gets flagged as a "pirating" forum.

 

[deathking]

he settled out of court.
i wonder how much they wanted from him.

 

[hundshamer]

WOW. Poor Kongsnutz. YAFAZE was a cool site too. Well, it's nice to be the first to upload something but a little anonymity can keep you out of alot of trouble.

 

[nitrostemp]

just remember that nintendo is watch and if your doing something they consider illegal make sure you use your anominizers, and dont go shouting omgz i gots it early cause i work at the store

 

[CrimzonEyed]

He will have a hell to be able to pay that back xD no company will probably never employ him

 

[rizzod]

ahhh well, poor guy, i feel really bad for him he helped us all here, and now this? what bullcrap, if prices in australia werent do high then piracy wouldnt be a problem here...

 

[nitrostemp]

hes paying the game bill for all the people that got it early and for free

 

[I am r4ymond]

Of course this'll hurt GBAtemp Forum's reputation. Oh man :l. I just wonder who that GBAtemp Regular is, out of curiosity.

How hard is it for them to actually put the picture of the right game on the pic?

 

[Chanser]

Great they use Super Mario Galaxy in the picture.

hmm "Nintendo Australia managing director Rose Lappin says the case a victory against piracy."
Lol they caught 1 of a miljon pirates XD thumbs up for nintendo ^^

 

[referencer]

kongz on one of the aussie newspapers today

I love how they show a picture of Super Mario Galaxy and call it "Super Mario Bros Wii."

I love how people post the same things I was going to say before I do and I see it after I posted.

It's not like that. If you got an early copy of a major release/new mario game and you could dump it for everyone, would you do it now? I certainly wouldn't.

I'm pretty sure a lot of dumpers will be thinking the same thing the next time they go to dump a major release a week early.

Maybe if i did know how to dump a game

also if i would i would hide my ip not share my name, not talk about it on forums etc

 

[I am r4ymond]

I don't see why a person would get an early released game and then brag about uploading/dumping a game...What's the big thing about that?

 

[nitrostemp]

id do it all stealthy like and only upload to mediafire with a proxy

 

[Lubbo]

WOAH

An Australian just got fined for releasing a game early, now you're saying you'd do the same? Are all Australians dumb?

Just kidding! Don't take offence, Australians! Just this guy. And the guy who got fined. lol
