Earlier this week, Nintendo emerged victorious in a lawsuit against French file-sharing company Dstorage.
The company owns and operates the1Fichierweb service, which hosts pirated Nintendo content.
A judge ruled that Dstorage must compensate the game giant for damages and legal fees.
Nintendo’s victory comes after years of fighting in the French judiciary system.
Dstorage appealed the verdict but lost again in 2023, and the court issued an even larger fine.
The French Cour de Cassation ruled that file-sharing companies must remove illegal content from their servers.
Nintendo called its victory against Dstorage/1Fichier asignificant winfor its business and the gaming industry.
The company is pleased with the French court’s enforcement of liability and accountability principles.
