Now that the NES is 'being revived' via the SP with certain classics...do you think the might bring Metal Gear back?

Actually the court can impose an order for the guardians to pay the sum over time - it doesn't work like whoever said, about if you don't have the full sum you don't pay, it becomes a legal debt and has to be paid, if payments are missed the bailifts are used. I can remember because I read it when it happened on BBC News and it was on Fox News.

If the people cannot pay the full sum then they don't get a penny unless they come into the money.

It's like when you sue a company, if they can't pay the company becomes bankcrupt and goes into protection.

It does mean though that people may think twice before downloading games.

It's not like songs you know.

I'm assuming his "legal guardians" (using Judge Judy terminology here) would have had to pay as near to the fine as possible due to the kid being an irresponsible minor.

I'm just remembering something I read in an old NOM...probably to gloat.

There is no way the kid would have that money, it was just a ruleing in a vain attempt to stop people.

The RIA fined people from about 9 years old to 60 year olds last year, no reason Nintendo can't do the same.

What?

Nintendo fined him?

Thats cruel even though it was illegal, they should have just taken away his lollypop or something, not half a million dollars.

hoho, I remember reading about a nine year old kid in America who was fined $500,000.00 for having NES, SNES Game Boy and N64 roms on his computer.

I was very amused.
