Wish these people abusing copyright claims would have to pay 10x their request plus process costs every time they lose.

During the time that this troll has been active, including regularly policing the Internet Archive, I was still able to find a full copy of the game there simply by searching for the title in Japanese. Someone put it up and deliberately avoided using the English title at all.

So depending on which version of the troll’s BS story you follow, it never occurred to a native Japanese speaker and/or someone who was working on a translation to search a site that they were already monitoring for the original Japanese title, for more than two years.

That copy was eventually found and removed, unfortunately. And I’d bet that it was only due to someone who found it spilling the beans somewhere else. I really wanted to spread the word, but I knew it would disappear almost immediately once I did.

Great read. Thanks for sharing. Crazy how easy it was for the guy to claim ownership.

My emulation community icon was my small protest against that fucking troll, lovely to see this.
