As reported by Torrent Freak, Ryan Daly, the alleged owner of modding company Modded Hardware, has denied any wrongdoing in court — even that he owns and operates the business at all.

Daly mostly responded to the lawsuit's claims by saying "denied" and otherwise claimed he lacked "sufficient information to either admit or deny the allegations." His defenses include fair use, invalid copyrights, a lack of standing, fraudulent inducement, an arbitration clause, failure to state a claim, and unjust enrichment.

This guy sounds halfway to SovCit and entirely fucked.

"A man who is his own lawyer has a fool for a client"

This doesn't seem like a great idea

That’s the kind of guy who rushes into the final boss unprepared, isn’t it ?

To shreds you say?

Ah yes, face up against one of the most litigious companies on the planet without a lawyer or any discernible legal experience of your own to speak of. I'm sure that'll work real well.

Sorry, my guy seems like a nit wit all the way up and down.

If you want to sell mods as a side hustle that's great, but don't form a company with the explicit enterprise of infringing the rights of one of the largest and most litigious rights holders in the world.

Nintendo Switch Modder Who Refused to Shut Down Now Takes to Court Against Nintendo

Yeah!

Without a Lawyer

... idiot.

Pretty sure he got paid by Nintendo to sue them stupidly so they could slam dunk the case and get a precedent that makes it easier for them to oppress developers

The absolute scenes if this guy wins.

Yuzu devs and others be like "we could've easily won?".

(I know, not happening)

God bless you, you crazy bastard you.

Here's the origin article from torrentfreak. https://torrentfreak.com/modded-hardware-defendant-denies-nintendos-copyright-claims-in-court-241006/

Shitty IGN is just re-reporting based on torrent freak with less info.

alleging it "not only offers the hardware and firmware to create and play pirated games" but also provides "customers with copies of pirated Nintendo games."

I can see a world where he can offer hardware and firmware, with claims of other intended purposes.

But the second part wherehe provides customers with pirated software is a slam dunk for nintendo.

He's fucked beyond fucked

There is no justice for poor man in this world

I hope he wins but it isn't looking good.

-There's a good chance you can beat Nintendo, but you've got to visualize how you're going to win, okay?
-Gotcha...
A CONGENITAL HEART DEFECT HAS APPARENTLY FELLED NINTENDO'S LAWYER MOMENTS BEFORE THEY COULD STEP INTO THE COURTROOM

If they win is going to be a very bad day for Nintendo.

And it's not that imposible. As these kind of companies operate on the principle that "small" people would never go to court after them, so they don't care if they actually have legal ground.

This is going to end well... /s

I know he wont win but i hope he does anyway. Or at least does something outrageous for entertainment.
