Nintendo's Lawsuits Aided by Fans
Guppy06 writes "Last week there was a posting about Nintendo's efforts to crack down on people selling counterfeit Nintendo hardware and software, and there was at least one reply from a guy who reported someone to Nintendo. It turns out he's not alone; according to a posting at Nintendorks, NOA's Jodi Daugherty, their director of anti-piracy efforts, says it was helped by over 400 people reporting such kiosks to them."
So that's who shut my stand down...
Well there was the price fixing thing but that took places about 15 years ago. Recently they haven't done anything that bad except for unleashing the Virtual Boy upon the world.
IANAL, but I've read a lot of Groklaw, and from what I can understand Nintendo has never really cracked down on NES, SNES, or N64 roms, maybe it has something to do with over-the-internet, rather than in-the-shopping-malls where Joe Sixpack and Jane PonyKeg wander. At this point I deem it perfectly safe for Suicide Girls to start selling these mame-wanabees on their site.
You can put down the DMCA now...
Thank you.
Im dreaming ofa big bndwdth, That can resist the
There are Kiosks here in the Virginia Beach, Virginia area as well. It looked like the games are all original NES games. This is similiar to the Atari classics self contained joystick sold thru places like Walmart? Are the Atari 2600 games licensed in those console systems?
I think it is funny that they started remaking Mr. Pac-Mac/Galaga arcade games. I guess they had to update the hardware+software since the original arcade couldn't be set to accept 50 cents per play. Bastards.
Southeastern Virginia REPRESENT!
"now that I am 20 years old and mature, I wish Nintendo/Sony would crack down on priates a little more"
In other words:
"now that I've stopped selling bootleg copies of games, I wish people would get caught."
And you're misguided to boot! CD Recorders have just a little bit under zero to do with the quality of games.

I always turn in people for sharing Brittney Spears, Madonna, Eminem, Kid Rock, Metallica, ABBA, Michael Bolton and Kenny G.
