The legal system is an irredeemable joke.
It is and it isn't. The judicial process is a very complex system. There is hundreds of years of case precedent to consider. There is nuance to every situation. Judges and juries are meant to be impartial, and its the lawyers that need to argue convincingly that their appraisal of the law is more valuable than the opponent lawyer's appraisal of the law. It is literally the most sophisticated method of determining the truth in a matter of legal wrongdoing. Copyright law is a fairly clear cut area of law, and this guy was bold faced selling Nintendo hardware that he modded.
Now, criminal law on the other hand. That's a complete joke.
