The title is technically true, but leaves out the pretty significant context that he has openly used the MIG Switch, a device technically for "backups", but realistically for piracy.

It's within the realm of possibility that you could get in trouble after buying used games which have been the source of pirated copies, but I don't believe that this guy's situation is an example of that happening.

"Nintendo cuts off online access for console after guy uses tool made for piracy" is a less compelling title though.
