Well this is a stupid move because what he did technically is illegal. Most companies are not stupid enough to actually try and enforce it but Nintendo have the letter of the law on their side.

There is a reason why Nintendo wins all the time, it's because none of what they're doing is technically against the rules. It's all in the letter of the law even if not in the spirit of the law.
