Nintendo of America filed a lawsuit today against an Amazon Switch hack reseller, Le Hoang Minh., while stating that the company’s copyright measures have been circumvented in selling an RCM Loader as a means to “jailbreak” the system.

Nintendo had previously sent a DMCA notice in hopes of initially dealing with the situation, but after that, the seller issued a counterclaim Amazon was required to relist the RCM Loader as a result unless Nintendo filed an infringement lawsuit. Nintendo has now done so and wants to stop the seller and receive $2,500 in damages for each infringement.

 

In the lawsuit, Nintendo points to a “serious, worsening international problem” with video game software piracy.

In this particular case, the RCM Loader lets users play unauthorized games.
