Surprisingly small claim, tbh
I would expect demands for his eternal soul for this, color me surprised.
Breakdown from article: At a correspondence of $800 per console, he will be called to pay $1,600 for the two consoles that were on offer on his website, and another $200 per pirated game. Unfortunately for Scales, there were 76 titles on the website’s games list. Finally, Sony also includes the $3,500 for the judicial costs, so the total sum makes $20,300.
Cracking and distributing pirated games is one thing, literally selling them for your own profit is quite another. Dumbass deserved this completely.
that's extremely reasonable wow I still find it dumb how the music industry will fine someone millions of dollars, when they fully know they'll never be able to pay that fine, I wonder what happens to people who end up in trouble like that.
i bet microsoft wouldn't sue for that much
You're right, they'd likely do more like Sony/Microsoft/Nintendo usually do. This is an absurdly reasonable number and I'm wondering why.
