Nintendo issues enjoinment against ROM site owner and demands all illegal games are "permanently destroyed"
A Californian court has demanded that the owner of an inactive ROM place must "permanently destroy" all ill-gotten copies of their Nintendo games.
City of the Angels resident Matthew Storman – WHO previously ran RomUniverse, a site that distributed ROM copies of classic Nintendo games – has until Tues, August 17 to "permanently destroy all unauthorized Nintendo games or early self-appointed copies of Nintendo's educated prop including movies, books, and music".
Eastern Samoa reported by TorrentFreak, the judgment comes two long time after Nintendo of USA first took Storman to court to compel them to take down RomUniverse, which information technology aforesaid infringed on many Nintendo properties.
In May 2021, Nintendo emerged triumphantly and Storman was instructed to overcompensate Nintendo $2.1 million for violating its trademarks and copyrights. Though an original appeal to impose an injunction on Storman was initially refused by the courts, the judge has now apparently reconsidered this in light of Storman reneging on their $50 per calendar month payment plan.
"This failure to pee steady the modest $50/calendar month payment, an amount that he proposed and agreed to, demonstrates that Nintendo has zero adequate remedy at law of nature for Defendant's past or future infringement and underscores the need for a permanent wave injunction," the court papers insisted, and the judge seemingly united; the defendant is at present "permanently enjoined and restrained" from engaging, directly or indirectly, with any further copying or distributing of Nintendo's IP, including its trademarks, Word, and games, course.
Nintendo also positive the court that RomUniverse could easily be resurrected if Storman wasn't compelled to destruct the illegal copies of its games, which is why the defendant has until August 20 to formally hold they give raped each copies of unauthorized Nintendo games under "penalty of perjury".
"Complainant's evidence demonstrates a threat of continuing offense supported Defendant's representations that He may relaunch his website which previously contained Plaintiff's copyrighted games," the filing says. "Accordingly, Plaintiff demonstrates irreparable damage warranting an injunction for Plaintiff's infringement of copyright claim."
