Nintendo issues copyright strike to YouTube channel specialising in emulation

Nintendo are so Stupid

Nintendo has been going on a legal rampage in recent months, they wanna have complete control over their IP and how it's used, to the point that they apparently hired a company specialized in tracking down IP infringement. At this point they have basically declared war on their own fans.

In Japan, there is the “Wizard Bible case” as well as a gray area called the “Winny case”.
There is also a case called the “Wizard Bible case,” in which a person was arrested for disclosing source code (including security measures) to deal with a computer virus. Even violations or minor issues can be considered obstruction of business by seizing them as evidence at the arrest stage, thereby discouraging disclosure and sharing.

　In the case of Nintendo, rather than cracking down on piracy in some countries, the technology has often been analyzed, copied and sold for a long period of time, causing damage.
　To top it all off, some places even required the seller of the original to maintain and guarantee the pirated copies.
　This is laughable, for example, demanding support for the emulators Nes and Snes.

In this case, they don't want users who have stepped on malware or something related to the Wii-U to get involved.
Maybe they are trying to get rid of anything that is no longer supported as much as possible.

I can understand a certain level of understanding, but I can also see how this could seem violent.🤔
　Well, that may be true in Japan, but the lack of decent compensation for “copyrights” and “intellectual property rights (patents)” may be behind the money-grubbing attitude.

Have Japanese Nobel Prize-winning researchers ever become rich from the honor?
I think the answer lies there (maybe).

Nintendo have always been legal hard-asses when it comes to closing sites and channels. I remember, more than a decade ago, they closed a Pokemon fan site because they were, allegedly, using too many images sourced from the games. Screw companies like that.
