Don't forget that Nintendo put Gary Bowser -- a man in a wheelchair, with two kids -- in prison for a year. Now he owes 30% of his income to Nintendo for the rest of his life. He made Switch mod chips.
Until Nintendo walks that back, I will pirate all future nintendo games and donate the cover price to Bowser's gofundme.
I am not a lawyer but a prison sentence doesn't seem like a possible outcome from a civil lawsuit. That must have been a criminal case against him, which means he was prosecuted by the state / the Crown, rather than Nintendo. I don't know the details though.
