Keighin has confirmed publicly that he is aware of this lawsuit, even going so far as talking with a local news reporter from 9NEWS in his hometown. Following the subsequent publication of this 9NEWS report, it’s noted that Keighin did then start to delete “a substantial amount of his online posts relevant to this suit”.
Wow, the dude’s speedrunning an obstruction charge. I’m pretty sure destruction of evidence is a crime even for civil suits.
Screw this guy, and screw Nintendo’s lawyers as well.
Clickbait trash. He’s been avoiding getting served for a few weeks, and soon the court will allow to serve his mom instead, and nothing has been achieved. Hooray.
Eh, him going on the news talking about it will likely stand as evidence that he knows he’s being summoned.
This is not a “win”
This dude is literally from my town. What a king
Why do people keep mucking with Nintendo when they know what Nintendo are like. Just ignore them and their games.
Fond memories of favorite childhood game franchises.
They’ve all been on piratebay for over ten damn years already.

There they are. Seeders, a’plenty.
I get that. Warez aren’t for everyone. Dealing with cracks, possible malware, or a program that might phone home when you don’t want it to. Some might be willing to take the risk, others just want legit copies they can play when they want. The fucked up thing is that we shouldn’t need warez for abandonware.
The world doesn’t run on shouldn’t. It’s why lockpicks exist, and genocide.
Nintendo is never going to budge, and the only thing keeping Sony and Sega from doing it is no shareholder is twisting their arms yet, but the timeline will eventually find the wrong dude in the right place.
Better isn’t something things tend to get unless we do it for ourselves, and with the way the world is getting?
I stocked up a 16TB hard drive with every rom and iso I could ever feasably imagine myself ever needing to download, and I seed every possible torrent that the community pays attention to.
Too much? Overkill? There’s no such thing.
If we don’t preserve gaming, it won’t happen because no one else is going to do it. All of us, we are “those guys”. We are the line of defense, here. We have to be the ones to do it.
We’re on the same page, dude.
I mean sure but these adults presumably read the news and saw what happened to the last 36 people that irritated Nintendo and then they go, oh it would be a gosh darn swell idea if I were to do the same thing as them.
Headline makes it sound like he’s managed to get out of it somehow, but in fact he’s just literally been dodging being served; he’s still pretty fucked.
In fact, dodging while publicly saying that he knows he’s being sued is likely to actually fuck him harder once he is in court. And publicly saying that he’ll just go bankrupt and avoid paying them anything will also probably fuck him harder. He needs to get a lawyer and just shut the fuck up.
right? The court can decide a punishment can persist through bankruptcy, so him stating that’s his intention likely will promise that they have that exception added in the penalty phase.
Wait,why is that? Getting sued for millions dollars? OK, yes,take all my money, here is 5 dollars. That’s all I have under my name.
A situation could easily happen where they’re forced to pay a percentage of whatever they earn until it’s all paid off (which will be never).
Ah slavery okay a perfectly fine punishment in todays world
It is according to the US constitution
It wouldn’t be the first time Nintendo has had this
Ever Heard of the bowser guy?
“no your honor. That was not my account, it was an internet troll account.”
- guy who gets away with avoiding being served
this is why it’s imperative for servers to confirm identity and serve.
Yeah, avoiding being served is something no court is particularly keen on.
If you know they’re on your ass delete all online presence, it’s not that hard. Taunting the courts and/or Nintendo about this will just make you more miserable because eventually the court will grant the exception to serve your family members instead.
