When Nintendo goes after their own game music, you know what that means? They could go after Zophar's Domain next, which archives video game music! This is really infuriating.
Re: Re: Re: Think you intended to write "modifying":
Millions of other copyright owners support DRM-free, CC licenced or otherwise less restrictively licenced works, and believe that archiving culture is more important than profit. Yet, they are ignored...
This raises the question: what could be done? Nintendo will have to know that this hurt their bottom line, but there was a similar brou-ha-ha over Pokemon Sword and Shield and those games sold like gangbusters when they were released. Pirating the games will lead Nintendo to be be Nintendo. While this current kerfuffle went viral, twitter isn't real life, and a small minority of Nintendo's customer base knows about this scandal and an even smaller minority cares. It seems like Nintendo can get away with their strict and draconian IP enforcement that would land as PR nightmares for other companies because they can get away with it.

Voice Vote
I wanted to see if my own representative voted for the bill, but I found out that there was no roll call taken, as it was passed with a voice vote.
I apologize in advance if this is irrelevant, but unfortunately, we'll never know for sure who voted for it and who didn't.

Pleasant surprise!
It's cold comfort to know that even justices appointed by Trump adhere to the rule of law, something which Trump does not do.

Nintendo will only pay a price if they make another failure like the Wii U or Virtual Boy.
