    Well it was my understanding it was a payout because the creator was from Brazil and Nintendo wouldn’t be able to go after him for like DMCA type route.

    Or something. I don’t exactly have my finger right on the pulse, I’m just repeating what I’ve read elsewhere.

      Old school suing about “aiding and abetting” piracy until the defendant has no money left to pay lawyers works pretty much all over the world.

        I mean, not really. There are definitely countries that don’t care about IP very much, even if they have laws on the book. This is why some piracy sites survive for years and years and years.
