Nintendo's Lawsuits Aided by Fans

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the thanks-for-the-assist dept.

Guppy06 writes "Last week there was a posting about Nintendo's efforts to crack down on people selling counterfeit Nintendo hardware and software, and there was at least one reply from a guy who reported someone to Nintendo. It turns out he's not alone; according to a posting at Nintendorks, NOA's Jodi Daugherty, their director of anti-piracy efforts, says it was helped by over 400 people reporting such kiosks to them."

    I'm no supporter of piracy believe me but Nintendo is just another mega-corporation whose only function in life is to milk the rest of us for as much money as possible so that a few fat cats at the top get rich.

    If you're that much in love with a corporation that you have to spend time in your life to do their policing for them, then you probably need to go get a few extra hobbies.

    I just wonder how many of these Nintendo "fanboys" would report someone selling a few pirated games but step over someone lying unconscious in the gutter...

    Take them out back, and teach them to mind their own damned business.

    One of the main problems of todays world, people ( and governments ) cant keep their nose out of others affairs..
