I think you misunderstand the root of the argument. You’re referencing Nintendo copying someone’s rip and that seems illogical - DRM circumvention is illegal under DMCA and similar laws, right? Nintendo is the owner of the license and not licensee for those things however so they can’t really circumvent anything and therefore there is no law against that. Nintendo can download Mario roms off the internet legally because they are the publisher and won’t sue themselves obviously.
No, I've understood this whole time that you're saying "Nintendo is legally allowed to do this with their own games".
What I'm saying is "Nintendo benefitted from their game having been pirated because they downloaded and sold the exact version of the game that someone illegally pirated".
Nintendo didn't do anything illegal. Someone did something illegal, and Nintendo saved time and effort (and therefore money too) because of the illegal thing that someone did.
So you’re literally hung up on the fact that Nintendo used someone’s rip. Are there some scene rules to prevent that or what because I’m deeply confused.
What are you confused about?
I don't understand what your angle is. It feels like you're really trying to win an argument, except you seem to be the only one arguing.
I've been trying to sort out a misunderstanding, and it looks like you're trying to win something. The misunderstanding is sorted out. So, I guess you win, too?
I’m asking you to clearly formulate what it is that you’re accusing Nintendo of. I’m seeing lots of hand waving so far to cover that you just want to dunk on Nintendo for taking toys away, sorry. Also think this is pointless.
For the third time...
Which part is unclear to you? Lol
Source, in case you're unfamiliar with this funny thing they did
You’re just trying to tire me out but I’m persistent.
Nintendo download roms, never disputed. What is Nintendo guilty of? Please state rule even if it is a cracktro scene rule because at this point I’m certain you know there is none.
Why do you keep using words like "accuse" and "guilty"? Lol
This is what I'm saying. I'm not even sure why you seem to be trying to make this a fight or an argument or something. "Tire you out"? Lol
You keep coming back to this like it’s important in any shape. No laws were broken. Adult people who work at big companies chuckled at this happening. Damages were estimated at $0. It’s like you’re morally trying to convict Nintendo of something on a technicality but I’m still not sure what is that crime. Unless you have anything new to add that’s it for me.
...lol
What are you going on about?
The reason I kept showing you the same comment is because you said things like "I'm deeply confused" and asking me what I'm saying.
I'm not even arguing with you. But you seem to be putting a lot of effort into reading an argument into what I'm saying. Is this how you enjoy spending your time on social media? Lol
