SalDHS should not have fucked around with Nintendo
Deflated0neWhile it would be funny. Nintendo won’t do it. They wanna be on friendly terms with orange boy so govco keeps helping them slap down ROM sites and prosecuting emulation enjoyers.
This type of content by the DHS could literally damage Nintendo’s brand, and all of us are painfully aware at how strongly Nintendo protects their brand. I’m fairly sure they WOULD throw the weight of all their lawyers against the administration for even daring to associate human rights violations with them.
fartsparklesThe trick is to reply to posts about it saying something like “I can’t believe Nintendo are supporting the actions of ICE. I refuse to let my kids anywhere near Nintendo products!”
Alternatively: "Using Nintendo music is fine. They didn’t go against ICE over it, so they obviously don’t care about it"
Exactly this. If I recall, there’s a principle in at least some IP* law suggesting that each time you don’t defend your absolute ownership of the IP, you are making it easier for others legally get away with infringing in future.
I know just enough to imagine this could wildly differ between patent, trademark, copyright, and whatever other realms there are in IP.
