Comment on Nintendo Hacker Freed, Now Owes Them 25-30% of Salary for Lifeparent

Comments

Just to be clear, this is not indentured servitude. If he somehow manages to pay back the multimillion dollar damages award that he owes them, he would be free and clear. This is more like a cap on how much of his salary will go toward paying off this debt.

A distinction without a difference, it seems. Very few people will earn $14 million over their lifetimes.
