The man who owes Nintendo $14m: Gary Bowser and gaming’s most infamous piracy case
(www.theguardian.com)
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Here's a fantastic video from an actual lawyer who talks about this case.
He implies that Bowser isn't necessarily innocent, but he is probably the fall guy for a much larger operation.

Except, of course, that he is innocent in the sense that what he did shouldn't have been a crime to begin with.
What he did was nothing more than facilitate console owners' property right to modify their devices.
I never stated my opinion on the matter. Just restating what a lawyer is saying about the ruling and why it went the way it did.
But the founding fathers put the DMCA in the constitution for a reason!
