The People’s Court: Wii Modding Moron Edition

March 11, 2011

An episode of The People's Court litigates a case involving Wii copyright infringement, piracy, and mod chips. But the case isn't really about all that - it's about a guy that wants a couple of hundred bucks over a modding deal gone sour. The judge, the plaintiff and the defendant never grasp the fact that something very illegal is going on here. Luckily for Nintendo, everyone's name is splashed on the screen for more dramatic litigation down the road - should they find out. We have a feeling they probably will..

And frankly, these two guys get what they deserve for going on a nationally syndicated show to fight each other over both committing multiple DMCA violations. Watch the video, be amazed at the stupidity. Thanks to Andrew Eisen's nameless friend who passed this hilarious video along.

Emmm, I wouldn't insult the poor guys too much. These programs usually utilize actors to represent the roles, even if the case is real.

Keep in mind before calling them pedophiles that they may not have anything to do with the real case, and even that the case can be completely invented. I doubt anyone would be so stupid to go on national TV with this.

I could be wrong, though.

"What is the purpose of this part?"

"So you can download games."

"It does that already"

"The games cost a lot of money, this way you can put a game in, and eh, it doesn't cost so much money"

"so the purpose is to make games cheaper. okay."

 

I suppose you don't get on the peoples court for being particularly astute....second career for JT?

 

also, both men give a creepy pedophile vibe.

Andrew EisenMicrosoft's new console shall now be known as the Xbox One-Eighty.06/19/2013 - 4:17pm
Andrew EisenI imagine we were typing our respective shouts at the same time.06/19/2013 - 4:14pm
MaskedPixelanteSo Andrew... is there going to be a new poll now? I mean, the one about the XBO DRM is kinda no longer relevant.06/19/2013 - 4:13pm
Andrew EisenIn light of Xbox One's furious backpeddling on its DRM policies, I'm closing the poll for now. I'll probably write a new one later today or tomorrow.06/19/2013 - 4:11pm
IanCFound three people whining about this so far. Saying that its because of cheapasses and that its going to be horrible online now. W T and indeed F.06/19/2013 - 4:09pm
Andrew EisenTechnogeek - I agree but: "After a one-time system set-up with a new Xbox One, you can play any disc based game without ever connecting online again." Why do I need to connect online to set up a system I'm not going to use online?06/19/2013 - 4:07pm
Technogeek@Andrew Eisen: I can't really see any other possible use for the one-time setup given the listed changes.06/19/2013 - 3:58pm

MaskedPixelanteBackpedal! Backpedal like the wind!06/19/2013 - 3:47pm
Andrew EisenHere's a telling bit: the page with the updates to the DRM? Yeah, it's down right now. And MS wonders why this "online check" stuff irks us so much.06/19/2013 - 3:40pm
ImautobotDamage is done, I am not going to give them another chance.06/19/2013 - 3:38pm
Andrew Eisen"Online authentication will still be required, but only during a console's initial setup" Hopefully, that means setting up Xbox Live and such.06/19/2013 - 3:38pm
PHX Corp@EZK one down, one to go06/19/2013 - 3:37pm
IanCYeah, too little, too late. They lost my trust, and this sint enough to get it back. Theres just this lingering fear that one day it will come back, in some way.06/19/2013 - 3:35pm
E. Zachary KnightGamasutra has confirmed it. They are reversing their DRM policies. Not sure what it all entails though. http://gamasutra.com/view/news/194649/Microsoft_reverses_Xbox_One_DRM_policy.php06/19/2013 - 3:33pm
E. Zachary KnightRumor has it that Microsoft is just going to up and ditch its DRM policies before launch. http://www.giantbomb.com/articles/microsoft-to-pull-complete-reversal-on-xbox-one-dr/1100-4673/06/19/2013 - 3:13pm
E. Zachary KnightIt is the same price as the existing slim, uses all new cables (power and composite) and does not have optical audio. So you have to use HDMI if you want HD video and surround sound.06/19/2013 - 2:12pm
E. Zachary KnightInteresting. IGN is recommending that you just skip the new 360 redesign. http://www.ign.com/videos/2013/06/18/unboxing-the-xbox-360-super-slim06/19/2013 - 2:12pm
