I doubt Disney is felling the hit of a lost sale from someone on a brazilian shanty town

The point isn't that the crime causes giant consequences, it's still not legal

neither is using straws in california

It's not like they're gonna take stuff down from the actual sources anyway

also, be aware that 90% of all piracy produces exactly 0 profits, and in most cases actually costs people

shareware is one of the few instances in history that communism actually worked

IMO, people are just complaining that Nintendo is making it inconvenient to steal their games

hmm no, complaining about them being hypocritical on their enforcement

You can get any Rom in ten minutes from a pirate site

wait ... soo you are saying that moding community is communism gone well ?

I said shareware

shareware communisom or something

So is open source software, yes

yeah

damn

but it works becouse it was free from beggining

begining*

plenty of works would have been totally lost to history if not for "pirates"

what is tnt village ? i know just piratebay

I don't exactly remember who, but I remember of a company that bought the rights to a BUTTLOAD of 80s, 70s and 60s cartoons, recorded them on VHS and then trashed the masters because they "won't need them anymore"

there are some gamedev diamonds, which now don't have the owner, and companies are suing one another for intellectual rights. if not for the piracy shit would have been lost

there's a lot of works out there that no one even knows to whom it belongs

and theres no way to buy em, like an auction or smth

I tried to help a publisher track down who could own the rights to this years ago, no one knew anything

i'd buy some shit :]

if this stuff wasn't preserved by "pirates" it would become lost media

funny enough, paper documents are more safe than digital ones in some sense

"oh but nintendo sells you old games"

Snes had a library of around 1800 games, Nintendo has released like 60

and you need to keep buying them every console because Nintendo hasn't figured out user accounts in 2018

"We need to promote culture in the 3rd world"
-sells them shit for half their income

Yeah, don't like that Copyright Naziism from Nintendo either...

plus we are on a youtuber's discord, where people often get shafted by fake dmcas

Yeah, especially if it is some shit someone (like MundaneM.) doesn't like.

Here's the thing, Nintendo isn't going after the sources. They're only going after the distributors

I have the entire library of the SNES in my computer. You can get any game for any system from a torrent site

People are complaining because it's not as convenient

Nintendo has been copyright Nazis, but you gotta pick your battles

I don't like how they go after people who are remaking games, like when they sent a cease and desist to that guy remaking super metroid

Or how they don't like youtubers playing their games
