Nintendo asks for $4.5 million default judgment against ex-Reddit mod accused of pirating thousands of games — "Archbox" allegedly asked for donations for faster access to his stolen library

Nintendo is pursuing a $4.5 million default judgment against a former Reddit moderator known as "Archbox" for allegedly pirating thousands of games and soliciting donations for faster access to the stolen library. The defendant, James Williams, who operated several pirating sites and shops, including JITS, ignored a cease-and-desist letter from Nintendo. The company claims Archbox distributed a significant number of games illegally and seeks to recoup its losses. Nintendo's legal action highlights its strict stance against piracy and the consequences for those profiting from copyrighted material.
