CE_gonna_CE 07/02/21 8:49:24 AM #1:	https://kotaku.com/nintendo-can-t-even-get-50-a-month-from-sued-rom-site-1847210881 Suing a video game rom site and being awarded $2.1 million in damages doesnt mean much if the defendant cant pay. Apparently, Nintendos having trouble collecting from RomUniverse founder Matthew Storman, whos already missed a $50 monthly sanctions payment to the video game publisher. You cant get blood from a stone, and you cant squeeze a relatively measly $50 payment out of a guy whose primary source of income was the video game rom site you sued into oblivion. Earlier this year Nintendos 2019 lawsuit against website RomUniverse concluded with the site being shut down and Nintendo awarded $2.1 million dollars in damages. Thats $35,000 for each of the 49 Nintendo games found on the site plus $400,000 in trademark damages. The chances of Matthew Storman, who defended himself in court and whose only source of income was the now-defunct rom site, being able to pay those damages are incredibly slim. In a recent court filing obtained by Torrentfreak, Nintendo complains that Storman hasnt made his court mandated monthly payment of $50. In the filing, Nintendo seeks a permanent injunction against Storman to ensure that he does not re-launch RomUniverse and resume distributing video game roms. In the filing, which can be viewed in full at Torrenfreak, Nintendos lawyers cite Stormans inability to give them 50 bucks as a demonstration of his disregard for his legal obligations. Not only did Defendant not address his violation of the Courts Order in the Opposition, but he continues to ignore the Order and has not yet made any payments to Nintendo, the filing reads. This failure to make even the modest $50/month payment, an amount that he proposed and agreed to, demonstrates that Nintendo has no adequate remedy at law for Defendants past or future infringement and underscores the need for a permanent injunction. Last month Storman filed a motion to have the court consider not making him pay Nintendo $2.1 million. --- https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/1531-food-delivery-services-general <cite>CE_gonna_CE posted [p:955666493] in Nintendo C...

When the RIAA sued people for insane amounts, they just filed for bankruptcy and called it a day What ultimately cut down on piracy big time wasnt legal action, it was streaming services. We're probably gonna see a similar thing with Game Pass, so unless Nintendo enjoys just wasting their time in court, it'd be smart to have a subscription service like Game Pass but for their classic collection --- A hunter is a hunter...even in a dream <cite>Gwynevere posted [p:955670508] in Nintendo C...

archedsoul 07/02/21 11:39:55 AM #49:	spikethedevil posted... So still making money from someone elses IPs. I didn't deny that. The guy was asking who buys roms when they're available for free elsewhere. I explained who, which is people who want unlimited access and can't wait, because the site itself had free access as well. Regardless, ALL rom sites are profiting whether they're free or have a membership because they are all supported by ad money, and net profit is net profit, whether it's ad money or membership fees. Not sure why people think this is worse than every other one. --- "Fear cuts deeper than swords." <cite>archedsoul posted [p:955670560] in Nintendo C...
