Nintendo Asks For Government Help To Fight Piracy

Nintendo, in its annual report to the USPTO, has requested help in dealing with piracy overseas, both from the US government and from several other countries in particular. China, Korea, Brazil, Mexico, Spain, and Paraguay are listed as the greatest contributing nations to piracy of the company's products. Nintendo suggests, for example, that "Chinese customs officials must stop shipments of game copiers and other infringing products out of China, and China should work in the coming year to eliminate barriers to its enforcement laws," and that "the Spanish government implement laws protecting the creative copyright industry and enact laws against Internet piracy."

Nothing Worth Pirating

I have a modded Wii and i have not found a single game in 6-8 months worth pirating.

I doubt Wii games are what the O.P. was talking about. I think he/she/it was talking about older systems. For instance, how many people signed the online petition to have Nintendo translate Mother 3 and release it in the US? I believe well over 100,000 people signed it. Yet Nintendo refused to translate and release the game over here. So, fans of the series took matters into their own hands and translated the game themselves. If Nintendo would have released the game, they could have made a ton of money off of it, but instead, it is now being "pirated," instead.

NES not releasing a game into a specific market does not justify people pirating the game. And EVEN if this game was in the market it would still be pirated. So again, stop attempting to justify this fud. People pirate because they don't want to pay the cost of the game. Not playing Mother 3 will not cause you to die so get over it.

Of course it does.

Why shouldn't people pirate it? Give me one good reason. There's no actual consequences for Nintendo, so you're going to have to either trot out your flawed understanding of property rights (which will then be summarily debunked), or fall back on appeals to "THE LAW" (in which case, who the fuck cares?).

You, sir, are an idiot. Bet you don't have those kinds of balls in a court of law. Would you tell a judge "THE LAW...who the fuck cares?" No didn't think so. Until you are willing to tell that to a judge in his courtroom STFU troll.
