US EditionNintendo Wins Lawsuit Against Pirate Who Boasted 'You Might Run a Corporation, But I Run The Streets'
Keighin streamed over 50 pirated Nintendo Switch games, causing millions in lost sales, and was ordered to pay $17,500 in damages after a lawsuit by Nintendo.
- Earlier this month Nintendo won a lawsuit against Jesse "EveryGameGuru" Keighin, who boasted `a thousand burner channels` and did not prepare a defense, making the judgment final.
- Investigators traced the streams to Keighin last year after he streamed at least 10 Nintendo leaks more than 50 times, including Mario & Luigi: Brothership.
- The company alleged Williams committed DMCA anti-trafficking violations tied to circumvention devices, causing millions of dollars in lost video game sales.
- A judge ordered Keighin to pay $17,500 in damages and granted an injunction barring him from streaming Nintendo works or trafficking in Switch emulators and Nintendo's proprietary cryptographic keys, while refusing broader relief against anonymous third parties or device destruction as unclear and unreasonable.
- Media coverage this month noted Blake reported Nintendo suing alleged Switch pirate Jesse "EveryGameGuru" Keighin for $4.5 million while he posted defiant messages like `You might run a corporation, but I run the streets`.
