Switch modder who represented himself in piracy case ordered to pay Nintendo $2 million
I>n July 2024, Nintendo filed a lawsuit at a Washington federal court against Flint, Michigan, resident Ryan Daly, Modded Hardware's operator.
>Nintendo had warned Daly to close his business the previous March, but he ignored it, leading to the legal action.
>Perhaps unwisely, Daly decided to forgo any legal representation, representing himself in court.
>He denied Nintendo's accusations of trafficking hacked hardware and the implication that he sold products pre-loaded with pirated games.
>Daly's arguments for his defence included everything from fair use allowances to invalid copyrights.
>But despite his brave attempt at defending himself, Nintendo and its presumably highly skilled and well-paid lawyers triumphed in the case.
>The court found that Modded Hardware sold piracy-enabling devices, hacked consoles, and mod chips that caused Nintendo of America "significant and irreparable harm," allowing pirated copies of Nintendo games to be created, distributed and played "on a massive scale."
>Nintendo argued that this threatened sales and undermined the Switch's ecosystem.
>Daly must now pay the company $2 million, shut down the Modded Hardware website, and hand the domain over to Nintendo.
>The permanent injunction also prohibits him from sharing documentation or information related to console modification.
