Nintendo filed a lawsuit against RomUniverse.com, a website involved in hosting pirated versions of Nintendo games, in September of 2019. Nintendo claimed that the site facilitated the infringement of its intellectual property. Its initial complaint said that the site reportedly offers memberships of up to $ 30 a year, allowing subscribers to download games faster than non-subscribers. This was seen as an act of profiting from Nintendo s copyrighted works, and it sought $15 Million in potential damages.
Matthew Storman, the site’s operator, did not take down the site until last summer, even after repeated DMCA takedown notices.

Nintendo of America has been awarded $2.1 million in damages after winning a lawsuit against pirated game seller RomUniverse. Nintendo originally filed the lawsuit in September 2019, with the company asking for $15 million in damages. Though the case was decided in Nintendo’s favor, the judge opted for a lower number: $2,115,000.
RomUniverse was originally operated by California resident Matthew Storman, who argued in court that he didn’t upload the pirated games himself. But Nintendo, in its original complaint, said the site reportedly offered memberships for as much as $30 per year, which let subscribers download games faster than non-subscribers.
Showing that kind of profit off of Nintendo’s copyrighted works is how the company won the $2.1 million judgment. Nintendo said RomUniverse had a catalog of both new and old Nintendo games, which were downloaded hundreds of thousands of times.
Nintendo Sues Bowser
A lawsuit has been filed by Nintendo of America against the alleged leader of an international video game piracy group.
Canadian national Gary Bowser was arrested in October last year on suspicion of heading a criminal enterprise called Team Xecuter that the United States Department of Justice said created and sold illegal hacking devices.
The circumvention devices enabled users to hack popular video game consoles, including the Nintendo Switch, the Nintendo 3DS, and the Nintendo Entertainment System Classic Edition, so they could be used to play unauthorized, or pirated, copies of authentic gaming titles.
Bowser and his alleged co-conspirator, Frenchman Max Louarn, were each charged with 11 felony counts, including conspiracy to commit wire fraud, wire fraud, conspiracy to circumvent technological measures and to traffic in circumvention devices, trafficking in circumvention devices, and conspiracy to commit money laundering.
