Nintendo Blocking Counterfeit Game Machines
An anonymous reader writes "Nintendo won a court case Monday which "prohibits retailers from selling products that look like Nintendo's game controllers from its older Nintendo 64 game console, which can be plugged directly into televisions to play games."" These were apparently being sold nation-wide in mall kiosks. Shady.
Copyright infringement is theft. Just like 'grand larceny' is theft.
At computer shows I used to see those with advertised as like "1500 games" basically they'd run like 20 different variants of Super Mario Brothers and 20 different varients of Duck Hunt, so on and so on until they hit their number. I should have bought one when they were still available.
I don't care if it's illegal, all the better. I'm boycotting Nintendo anyway.
