Nintendo sues Reddit mod for $4.5M, says it's 'nowhere near' enough money

Nintendo is suing a Reddit moderator for $4.5 million, claiming it's "nowhere near" enough money to compensate for the individual's alleged actions. The company alleges that the moderator sent thousands of messages promoting piracy websites and soliciting donations. According to Nintendo, the individual's actions caused significant damage to the company's business and reputation. The lawsuit claims the moderator's activities were "willful and malicious" and resulted in the distribution of unauthorized copies of Nintendo's copyrighted works. The tech giant argues that the $4.5 million figure is a conservative estimate and that the actual damages could be much higher. Nintendo is seeking to hold the moderator accountable for the alleged piracy-related activities and to send a strong message to others who may be considering similar actions. The case highlights the ongoing battle between major corporations and individuals accused of facilitating piracy, underscoring the importance of protecting intellectual property rights in the digital age.
