Nintendo files a new lawsuit against Gary Bowser

It seems that Nintendo’s fight against piracy continues. This is how we have been able to find out thanks to a recent report from Nintendo of America on this occasion.

Specifically, it is a lawsuit against Gary Bowser, the alleged leader of a piracy group known as Team Xecuter that, according to Nintendo, violated the company’s copyright by creating and selling pirated content. It would be an international piracy network that sells Nintendo Switch modified to bypass security measures and run hacked games.

The origin of this group is in 2013 with works related to Nintendo 3DS and now Nintendo asks $ 2,500 for each modified console with which it has been trafficked along with another $ 150,000 for each copyright violation, as well as the total cessation of the group’s activity for putting all Nintendo Switch players at risk.

Nintendo has focused much of its legal efforts on resellers in the past, with multiple lawsuits filed over the past few years, one of which won the company a $2 million settlement. On Thursday, Nintendo won an injunction for a November lawsuit targeting an Amazon reseller.

Previously, Nintendo has called Nintendo Switch hacking and piracy a “serious, worsening international problem.” In Friday’s lawsuit, lawyers wrote that Bowser’s wares “continue to put more than 79 million Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch Lite consoles at risk from piracy.”
