A striking image of the Nintendo of America headquarters in Redmond, Washington, catches the eye. The lawsuit filed by Nintendo against streamer Jesse Keighin in Colorado has stirred up controversy. Keighin, known as “Every Game Guru,” is accused of pirating and streaming unreleased Nintendo games worth millions of dollars on various platforms like YouTube and Twitch. These unauthorized games include popular titles like Super Mario and The Legend of Zelda.
Nintendo claims to have been monitoring Keighin’s activities since 2022, labeling him as a repeat offender. Despite efforts to stop the piracy by contacting hosting platforms, Keighin allegedly boasted about his ability to evade detection with multiple channels.
The lawsuit seeks over $7 million in damages from Keighin for each piracy incident and violations of copyright laws. This legal battle between Nintendo and Keighin highlights the ongoing challenges faced by companies in protecting their intellectual property rights in the digital age.
