So tell us, exactly what should Nintendo do when they see clearly pirated copies being played? Send a message to each console, asking nicely to show a pic of proof that they are playing a legit copy?

Isn't that literally what they're doing except forcing you to do all the work? Regardless if there were more than two then there's a good chance it has been mass copied in which case it's much more understandable but in this case where there were only two instances, one of them presumably legit and they can't tell which then I don't think it's fair to ban the person not doing anything wrong.

Like this is all fine and dandy for most gamers I guess but imagine it's a young kid with clueless parents or an elderly and relative non-gamer or vulnerable person. Hell, what if it happened to you? Twice? And this guy may have had a good experience with customer service but that won't always be the case.

Maybe if this only prevents you playing multiplayer it isn't so bad but if it also stops you being able to access all your purchased games it's way too far and frankly you know well as I do if this started effecting thousands of people, Nintendo would change it because of the hit to their reputation.
