In fact, the judge chides MapleStory for its request for the maximum -- even to the point of noting that the arguments by MapleStory make it 'question very seriously whether Plaintiff intended to actively mislead the Court or whether these oversights were merely the result of poor legal research.'

"this case does provide an excellent example of the ridiculousness of anti-circumvention statutory damages. $3.4M can't be the right damages award in this case, and it's so guffaw-inducing that it further erodes the legitimacy of our copyright rules."
You guys may think this is a win or whatever for Nexon, but it's also kind of pathetic of them. Oh no they stole a potential $68,000 from us even though we make millions, let's sue them for $44 million.
Stealing is stealing, examples have to be made.
