Money is already involved. It doesn’t need to be personal profit, my understanding is the lost sales are already enough for a copyright infringement claim. Although there are also three counts related to DMCA circumvention/trafficking – seems to me like Nintendo is confident they can prove in discovery that the defendant was close with / a part of the groups involved. (I am not a lawyer)

You should probably click through to the TorrentFreak article and skim the actual complaints.

For other readers, I’ll quote just a few lines of the complaint here:

[…] Defendant has engaged in “crowdsourcing” schemes, such as a scheme where he solicits members of the public to “donate” to his online community called “Missing Dumps” pre-paid Nintendo eShop Gift Cards (which he uses to purchase games to then copy and distribute) or copies of pirated Nintendo game files. He then rewards these contributors with special, enhanced access to the content available in his Pirate Shops.

Via the “SwitchPirates” Reddit board, Defendant has touted and advertised his Pirate Shops and offered technical advice and encouragement about how to obtain and play pirated Nintendo Switch games and use the Circumvention Software.

On March 31, 2024, Defendant acknowledged to NOA that his conduct violated NOA’s intellectual property rights, but refused to agree in writing to cease his unlawful activities. Moreover, upon receiving the cease-and-desist letter, Defendant apparently attempted to cover his tracks by systematically destroying the documentary evidence of his misconduct, including but not limited to deleting his Discord social media account as well as his GitHub account

(If the allegation that evidence was destroyed is true, that’s really not a good look lol)

I’m not surprised, just disappointed.

“What do you tell someone to type when you want them to send you an email?” should work if the person has irl or phone social connections, which is still the case for a lot of older folks

Abortion should be illegal because it violates the UDHR.

This is an (unsubstantiated) allegation of fact, not an opinion.

Yeah Domino’s is one of those places that the price with a coupon, is the regular price. And the food’s not terribly worth it even then IMO.

I don’t think you’ll benefit at all from using the 2.5Gbit port if you only have 1Gbit cables, so there’s no downside

Separately, I wonder how significant the extra bandwidth costs will be on the overall expenses of running the service

Nah, that’s baby evolution!

If it’s milk chocolate the 40% is likely cacao content of the chocolate, not the percentage by volume in the dough

It’s SO GOOD. I reached… An ending, but there’s clearly more to do. There are at least two puzzles I’m aware of that I know I don’t have all the clues for, and there are several interesting things beyond that which I don’t even understand the purpose of yet.

Environmental Station Alpha tier game.

I know it’s their own press release and this happens with all sorts of companies, but their choice of “stunning” disgusts me

That was a worthwhile read, and had next to nothing to do with Doctorow.

Looks like Lemmy has decided to use a flavor of Markdown which is inconsistent from Mbin’s. That’s a shame.

From Mbin, it looks struck through, lol

I was not expecting woomy

You should dual boot it with Windows. Then you get the beeeeeeest of both worlds…

Not in the sense that there’s some separate component than body and mind.

Definitely looks unsafe to me.
