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.
Did you ask them to show you their citizenship card? Oh yeah I forgot since thay weren't blonde they were probaly just some dirty illegal immigrant.
Copyright infringement is theft. Just like 'grand larceny' is theft.
I saw one of these in a booth at a huge fair in Dallas and called information immediately to get Nintendo's legal department on the line. The nice lady gave me an email address, and when I got home, I drafted the following letter
So. How does it feel to be a snitch?
Are you trying to say that only white people respect copyright law? Wutchu trying to say huh?
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.
