Last month, RomUniverse owner Matthew Storman was sued by Nintendo for copyright infringement and faced a $2.15 million fine. Despite this, he plans to put his website back online, and naturally Nintendo is not too happy about it.

Given that Storman is unemployed, the fine takes the form of a $50 monthly payment, which Nintendo says Storman "proposed and agreed to" (via ArsTechnica). Given Storman's failure to make the initial payment, it would take 3,500 years, or even longer, to repay the entire amount.

Meanwhile, in a post-judgment conversation, one of Nintendo's attorneys in the case said that Storman is considering bringing RomUniverse back online, but probably not with that pesky Nintendo content.

"Mr. Storman said he is still considering what to do with RomUniverse and that if he were to bring the website back online, there might be video game content and ROMs from companies other than Nintendo, but no Nintendo content," attorney William Lava stated in a court filing.

Because of this, Nintendo has now re-filed a motion to vacate the permanent injunction against Storman. The site owner's inability to pay back even minimal fines is cited as a further cause of action.

"Nintendo's failure to make even the modest payment he proposed and agreed to of $50 per month demonstrates that Nintendo has no adequate remedy at law for Defendants' past or future acts of infringement and underscores the need for a permanent injunction," Nintendo wrote in a document filed with the court. It wrote,

"An injunction is necessary because Defendants have threatened to continue to operate RomUniverse to distribute video game ROMs using the same website that they have used to massively infringe Nintendo's copyright and trademark rights for the past several years."

.

Storman infamously defended himself in a lawsuit in which Nintendo sought to award him $15 million in damages and a permanent injunction barring him from further infringement of its intellectual property rights. The court initially denied the injunction and reduced the fine. Even if he does not host Nintendo titles, Storman could face new attacks from Japanese publishers if he reopens the site.
