"and for what?", the what is to send a message to everyone not to screw around with Nintendo. Whether that's morally right is another question.

Why are you pretending Nintendo is the justice system? Are you confused by how the legal system works?

I'm not pretending that Nintendo is the justice system, although I will admit that the US legal system does confuse me!

The point was that if you have deeper pockets than your opponent then you're able to leverage the legal system to make life hard and stressful for them.

Nintendo has deep pockets and the will to go after anyone it considers a threat to its business model.
