    No surprise here. Those were idiots trying to profit from someone else’s labour. It’s not illegal to sell a retro gaming console capable of playing gba games (to name one), what’s illegal, and these imbeciles should have known is to sell them full of licensed games.

    Well deserved imho.

    Edit: gotta love getting downvoted for this. I guess people are butthurt because someone profiting from piracy got screwed. Well, that’s how it is. These guys could have sold the consoles without games and nothing could have happened. Piracy by itself shouldn’t be about profiting from other people’s work. That’s why every single cracker group tells you that if you paid for their cracked games, you were scammed.

    But I guess people think that profiting from piracy is fine… Oh well…

      Technically, it still is illegal to sell electronics without CE certification

      Although a headline like “3 cubic meters of worthless famiclones have been seized” isn’t as strong
