I'm glad it was done amicably to everyone but the gamers who seem to have their life support connected to these projects.
To them I hope they'll some day grow up and learn that when the ball owner decides to take the ball and go home it's game over, they aren't beholden to you, if you want to make your own ball feel free to do so. Appreciate the time you had with it, and play a different game, or wait for it to come back.
The guy I bought the ball from 20 years ago thinks he still owns it because he's a dunbass. Nintendo's assinine legal theories have never been tested because nobody has an incentive to fight them in court. That's why people are still streaming gameplay on twitch. Nintendo isn't going to sue Amazon because they'll face the possibility of setting a precedent and never being able to make idiotic hamfisted legal arguments again.
You going to steal a car from a dealership because the one you bought 20 years ago is out of date?
No, but I would download a copy of the car if it were possible. Making a copy of something is completely different from stealing a physical object.
Great, but how about distributing that car, or possessing it without the person who designed it's permission? You can build your own car, there's nothing stopping you. You can build your own digital code, hell you could rebuild it from Nintendo's code, but you can't distribute or profit from it unless it's yours to the point of copy write
That's not the right comparison. Morally bankrupt corps don't get to write laws that I will respect.
This Lemmy place is just flooded with the gamers....
Yup, gamers are a bunch of angsty teenagers who never grew up and don't understand how contracts work, thanks for confirming it!
You never read The terms of service in the instruction manuals did you?
I never signed any agreement. You can't just hide an agreement inside the box and expect it to be valid. That's not how any of this works.
That's the way copy write works buddy. We all agreed to it with or without your explicit consent, If you disagree there's entire communities dedicated to that cause, sovereign citizens, feel free to join the birds of your feather.
In the meantime I'm participating in society.
There's all exemption in copyright law for fair use in case you missed that part.
TOS's are not law. They have illegal conditions in them all the time.
And as long as you aren't using your vehicle for commercial purposes you don't need a license or registration.
