In 2018, Nintendo went on a legal rampage going after multiple websites that had pirated ROMs of classic Nintendo video games for people to download. One of those websites is called RomUniverse. That website was ordered by the court to pay a $2.1 million summary judgment. While Nintendo got the summary judgment for damages it suffered, it didn’t get everything it asked the court for. Nintendo had requested a permanent injunction against the operator of the site, Matthew Storman. At the time, the infringing website had been shut down, and the courts saw no reason to expect Nintendo would suffer from ongoing damages.
