Just because something is a law doesn't make it just.

Who said anything about justice? You're moving the goalposts.

If you're talking about Bowser, the only thing they convicted him of is "conspiracy" to do things that shouldn't be illegal [1]. All the other charges were dropped. If you think "conspiring" to sell modchips is a crime worthy of prison I don't know how to convince you that we should have a fair and just legal system. It was a plea, too, and anyone who knows the legal system well understands that plea bargains are generally unjust and used to bully people into not defending themselves.
