News: Nintendo scores piracy win: Australian owes $1.3M for leaking ‘Super Mario Brothers Wii’ Online

February 11th, 2010 by Ashlee Spinoso

Piracy doesn’t always pay.

Nintendo has settled a federal lawsuit with a 24-year-old Australian who got his hands on the popular Mario game, then shared it with the world.

James Burt, who bought “Super Mario Brothers Wii” early in Australia after a local store mistakenly made it available days before its official release, promptly hacked the game and posted it online, according to the lawsuit filed by Nintendo.
