Nintendo of America secured a $4.5 million default judgment against Reddit moderator James “Archbox” Williams, who ran the SwitchPirates community and sold pirated Switch games and piracy‑enabling tools. The lawsuit, filed in late 2014, followed Nintendo’s use of Reddit posts and repair orders to locate Williams. The court also issued a permanent injunction banning Williams from selling pirated games, related software, or operating online shops and social media channels. This victory complements recent European wins against piracy devices.
