So, uh...genuine question here.

How the everloving fuck has no one sued him yet? Do they want to see how far he goes before they shut him down?

I am not familiar with law in the US, but can you get sued for reselling? Is it not the company who produces these knock off consoles who can get sued? If i buy 20 switch consoles here in the Netherlands and sell them on a web-shop for €20 more it is not against the law, same as scalpers. Or did he actually make the consoles and put the roms on there?

Anekdotal, but we sell electric scooters from China. We are allowed to buy them, rebrand them and sell them as our own. The company producing them is fine with that. Could this be the same?

The selling of rebranded things isn't the illegal part. It's that these items come with pirated software.

It's not the consoles themself that are the issue, but the illegal ROMs they come packaged with.

By the way, how come Amazon isn't in trouble for offering basically the same thing on their store?

Not sold from amazon themselves, it's just like Ebay. They aren't "responsible" what other people sell on their platform :P aka. legal loopholes.
And it's in the "china don't care" department. You delete one seller, seven more will pop up and you won't have time to shut them all down.

Yeah I see I got it wrong. So far as I am aware, he did want his dance as a Fortnite emote that people could buy... I don't suppose he wanted to give it away for Epic to monetize though, but his Tweet doesn't serve as proof of that.
Nah, Soulja is just a regular bullshitter. When people started talking about suing Fortnite he started bragging how they couldn't use his dance because he copyrighted it ( he didn't).
Then one month or so ago he forgot he claimed that and started spreading rumours that his dance would soon be on Fortnite (still misteriously inexistent to this day). Dude says and tries anything to stay relevant and in the news. Is really sad at this point.

This shit makes me so angry.
How can someone like him just rebrand old junk console and handheld knockoffs and sells millions of them? How stupid and brainless are people? This really let me loose my faith in humanity.

He's a puckish rogue. That he's getting away with this is kinda funny, so I'm rooting for him. I wonder which games his eSports team will cover.

If the new Switch port beg doesn't become the Soulja Boy Fuze port beg I will be disappointed.

*any games announced*

"This would be perfect for the Soulja Boy Fuze!!!"

Why people are surprised at him getting away with it after only like 1 month? Does the justice shutdown people selling pirated stuff that quickly on USA? Don't you guys get dozens of ads in both eBay or Facebook for "collection" of pirated games in a daily basis? Because I do, and they last a long time.

Wait... So this guy is buying cheap hardware from Ali Express and sells that hardware at more than double of the price and bundled with illegal roms? And people are actually buying this?

I personally think he's full of shit. If anyone are buying these things, they're YouTubers to make fun of them. There's a ton of YouTubers making videos about these.

Typical con-man tactic. Those prices are hilarious though. What a steal!
