    Gary Bowser wrote a blog about modding electronic devices, many of them Nintendo consoles. He made around $1,000 a month. He was put in prison and ordered to pay $14.5 million for violating Nintendo’s copyright. He worked a prison job and the money he earned went to his multi-million dollar debt. So far that is $175. I wonder why Gary couldn’t just say “oops can’t afford that! Maybe reduce it to $100,000? Thanks!”
