Thats not even the crazy part
Nintendo is seeking $152,500 in damages
There’s only 6 figures.
The key here is $152.500 per infringement. So if he streamed at least 50 times in the past two years, that’s $76 million at least.
And that falls straight back into “normalcy” (for Nintendo).
That’s not what the article says…
Granted they will be seeking additional damages in court, too.
Follow the source of this article (in this case Polygon, yuck) and you will find the original info:
It’s seeking $150,000 for each alleged violation of Nintendo’s rights outlined in the Copyright Act and $2,500 for each alleged violation of the Copyright Act’s anti-circumvention and anti-trafficking provisions. Alternatively, Nintendo also could elect to take “actual damages,” i.e. money it’s lost, and Keighin’s profits, “in amounts to be proven at trial.”
