>"Over the weekend, the YouTuber known as Modern Vintage Gamer announced that Nintendo has flagged several of his videos about emulating old games on the Switch, some with hundreds of thousands of views, for copyright infringement. YouTube automatically takes down videos with strikes against them. He said he tried to dispute the claims, but was unsuccessful and is now taking steps to reupload the videos elsewhere."
Hahaha, I gonna so pirate and play all switch games on YUZU. HAHAHAHA, suck my big one Nintendont.
Wyatt Collins
YUUGEN GEEDON ECKS BAWX.
N RUN UMBRU N EMU ATERS.
AH GRAY EMU EATIN MAJUN E EN TODAY.
*footage of a game clearly not emulated*
Anthony Allen
>WTF WHY WON'T NINTENDO LET ME SHOW VIDEOS HOW TO HACK THEIR CONSOLE HELP ME GOVERNMENT
I watched some video about NINTENDO IS TARGETING ME WAH because it showed up in my recommendations and this dude is the ultimate definition of a bald headed faggot
Elijah Watson
Lmao don't care already emulated botw. it was shit.
Gavin Miller
I actually always pirate Nintendo games. No real reason to buy them.
Cameron Lopez
They chose to flag it, though.
Nicholas Robinson
>unfairly
This is what pirates actually believe
Ryder Barnes
Homebrew = Piracy
All in favor of piracy,but don't lie to yourselves
If you enjoy the games, yes there is a reason to pay for them
Jonathan Phillips
Why do Americans love sucking corporate cock so much?
Brandon Diaz
No it doesn't you retard. You don't own Nintendo or their IPs. Kek fucking retard
Tyler Smith
good, this only makes pirates stronger. Fuck Nintendo and fuck you corporate cock suckers
except he isnt involved with pirating games directly or shows any sources how to download n such, only the other shit that is legal to a degree or grey zone at least
Bentley Rodriguez
Fuck nintendo. Fuck buyfags.
Alexander Robinson
Shouldn't have posted this with a pic of a well known corporate bootlicker
Josiah Hill
How would you feel if someone stole YOUR idea? Copyright makes things fair. People seem to have this entitled attitude that they can do whatever they want with other peoples' intellectual property
Cooper Bell
oh my god hahahahahaha
Connor Russell
Nintendo invented video recording?
Isaac Reyes
>take game that got made by huge company >tweak it >NINTENDO HIRE THIS MAN >I DON'T EVEN NEED TO BUY NINTENDO GAMES ANYMORE WHEN I CAN PLAY THIS FOR FREE
Camden Ward
Wow, are you really stupid enough to take him seriously?
>piracy it costs more to try and enforce law around it than it would to let it go free. people are going to use tapes to record from the FM radio, till they can steal songs from youtube. the music industry has not crashed from this, but rather benefited immensely. you really just can't charge someone for something they had no intention of ever purchasing anyhow. >making money off of piracy here's where the real issue comes in, when you start to make money off this shit is where an already complex series of arguments gets really really fucking convoluted.
also if you can't stop people from drawing porn of your characters, how are you going to stop them from pirating the games themselves? is this not an equal exploitation of their intellectual property? you didn't invent princess peach, nor was peach ever really intended to be pornographic icon at its core, so why allow some bastardization to occure?
those who wish to use the power of the state to impede piracy must also accept that porno is also a form of piracy. artists shouldn't be making $300 a commission just to draw a character that neither parties invented in the buff, it was all nintendos work here, not yours!
>wanting to go against Nintendo on Youtube >while including copyrighted material >thinking you had any rights on youtube Nintendo's stance is shit, but it has been this way for literally over a decade so nobody should be surprised. He has no one to blame but himself
>It actually does, by definition. By definition, you don't own the copy. You own the rights to use the copy on an unmodified jewtendo console. That's what you agreed to and trying to work around this is a violation of the agreement.
Free market can't save you here
Grayson Roberts
what's youtube?
Owen Ross
Since you can be jailed for modding your Switch in Japan, it's probably against the TOS. Hope he gets humbled
Daniel Brown
Says the one bowing to his corporate masters. What a cuck you are.
Michael Turner
I don't like the idea of Copyright, but Youtube does, and they're the ones who control what videos get taken down. Really the solution is to ditch YouTube. Either Peertube, torrents, or self-hosting would work.
Leo Perry
>Illegal to mod property you own
Jacob Reed
Jewish brainwashing. Ironically, American copyright law is essentially a talmudic law, wrapped up in the idea of the protection of personal rights. Like all talmudic laws, it’s a scam.
Christian Wood
>computer gets built with a copy and paste function to instantly duplicate data >purchase a product with its intrinsic value held up by the wall of guns known as the state >this magically makes the concept of propriety ownership non existent >free market has failed because the state has limited my freedom imagine being this demoralized.
Brayden Smith
Even basic consumer rights is considered commieshit over there.
Jeremiah Edwards
>By definition, you don't own the copy. >You own the rights to use the copy on an unmodified jewtendo console. Thats not how it works. You have full right to use it any which way you please, be it ripping it, modding it, etc, etc. You just can't give it away or sell it. But as long as it stays in your hands you can do whatever the fuck you want with your stuff.
Hunter Hernandez
What?
Ryder Wood
>what is Disney?
Lincoln Sullivan
56% and corporate bootlicking, name more iconic duo
David Murphy
Do you realize Nintendo consoles are the easiest to emulate since their specs are so low?
Jonathan Green
I'd believe you if you didn't post the mouse. fuck off disney bootlicker
Jace Brown
>agree to a strictly limited set of valid usage options >do something not on this list, violating the agreement >AM I BEING DETAINED? I INTERPRETED THE LAW SOME OTHER WAY! FREE MARKET SAVE ME! Try not making agreements that you want to violate. Or get the state to forbid such agreements.
Nope Just because you want it to be true, it doesn't mean the agreement is invalid. It may be a bit different in EU, where restrictions on companies are tighter, but that's further away from free market.
Aaron Miller
The irony coming from you. Though no woman would even give you the time of day to let you live out your shit fetish so instead you spend your time shitposting and spamming your trash fetish on Yea Forums. Kill yourself bootlicker
Isaac Parker
Yes dude, in the US it's legal. You've been brainwashed by 2 decades of bullshit EULAs that are not legally binding. It is also legal to reverse engineer software you've bought, there was a legal case about it even in the 90s with Nintendo v Galoob (US distributor of the Game Genie). But you just can't redistribute (in the case of the Game Genie they reverse engineered the NES for R&D development of the device but the device it self contained no IP infringing material in it self)
Jonathan Davis
Nintendo really does push their luck with this shit. It's also baffling how a company from a mere vassal state can bully American citizens like this.
Ayden Davis
Fuck pirates that insist that theft is legitimate.
Anthony Butler
Nintendo has tried to claim that emulation itself is illegal so I don't respect their opinion on copyright laws
And that's all it is, an opinion
Owen Rodriguez
They have such a strange policy on emulation. I could almost agree with then if their Virtual Console was any decent. Super Mario 64 is a good game, but Nintendo can shove it if they think I'm going to pay £10 for a twenty year old game.
Ian White
>And that's all it is, an opinion Law isn't really about facts, there is a lot to interpretation and interpretations are inherently subjective. If Nintendo convinces enough judges to side with them, emulation may become illegal.
Eli Brown
the youtubers would possibly have to take youtube to court to properly dispute the takedowns and settle the matter. it would take years of appeals and cost hundreds of thousands.
don't bite the hand that feeds etc.
nintendo knows they have this shield.
Easton James
>emulation may become illegal. It won't. The entire tech sector would rip Nintendo a new one since emulation layers exist in tons of places like vitualization, which is used extensively buy basically all governmental and business organizations globally anymore. Emulation isn't going anywhere. Nintendo basically does these C&Ds and lawsiuts more to scare people then anything, sometimes the lawsiuts are borderline slap lawsiuts (look up the phrase) purely to bully.
Cooper Cook
My dude, you can't even stay on topic. How stupid. Nobody is talking about fetishes. It must be all the porn they get you to watch to make you an obedient slave.
Jeremiah Walker
Well, if you can't afford it, or don't want to. You don't deserve to have it
Carter White
This Nintendo doesn't have to be in the right, all they need is scary legalese because the people they slap can't afford to fight them 99.9999% of the time
Jordan Hall
They don't need to make all emulation illegal, obviously. Just make it so that emulation is not covered under regular use and being able to legally exclude it as allowed use case is enforceable.
Also, virtualization is not the same as full hardware emulation. Vast majority of virtualization is within same architecture.
>That luxury item costs too much or more than I'm willing to pay therefore I'm justified in stealing it herp derp
Jaxon Jones
Didn't think you had to keep doing this kind of stuff Reggie. I own a copy I bought in the 90s. The ease of buying it on a modern console (and applies to most of Nintendo's IPs) does not outweigh the price they charge - hence emulation.
Jonathan Carter
>Also, virtualization is not the same as full hardware emulation. It is and it isn't. In the business world there is may levels of both in use. I work with a AS400 mainframe daily. It does not run on the original AS400 hardware, but a CPU that is partially compatible and has emulation for the rest of the stack. And even for x86 virtualization quite a few opcodes are emulated, even when your chip has hardware accelerated extensions, that just lessens the amount of emulated code, but does not eliminate it. Emulation is found in many more places then you may expect user, its not just about running your NES games on a PC.
Colton Richardson
>stealing kek
Leo Baker
>Piracy isn't stealing hehehe :^)c When we hang you from a cross your won't be "killed". You'll be "executed".
Samuel Ross
>pirates killing anyone The only person you're killing is your tired mom who wanted a normal son but got a NEET too lazy for work
Carter Harris
Yellow wojak was kind of funny at first, does it really deserve to be made fun of this much?
Asher Gutierrez
Good fuck e-celebs, learn to make original content instead of leeching off others creations
>be company >you suck at selling video games >people pirate your shit >hurr durr stop pirating my shit that you can't buy! you only have yourself to blame
>he posted a copyrighted character do you know why different piracy projects typically use copyrighted characters as their mascots? it's because they're not allowed to
So he's not allowed to make videos on games he buys? That's retarded
Alexander Morales
Just as long as you're making an exact clone of me and executing it, I'll be fine with that, brainlet.
Ryder Miller
If you're not willing to pay for a service, you don't deserve to have it. Now concerning emulation, I'm pretty sure that Nintendo always stated that it's illegal no matter what. I even have the Bomberman 64 booklet, and it's stated also there. Doesn't matter if you own the copy.
Christopher Scott
>agree to an agreement >violate it >REEE IT'S RETARDED Try this route in court
Jack Morales
Maybe nintendo should try their hand in court instead of abusing youtube's flagging system like a bunch of angry twelve year olds from Yea Forums.
Adrian Morgan
Why? It's working.
Bentley Brooks
>Nintendo don't support a practise that would lose them money Fair enough, but your mistake is thinking that I or other people give a shit about Nintendo's money making.
Adrian Perez
For the wrong reasons, bootlicker.
Liam Morgan
Wring hands all you want, they're winning.
Jace Martin
Well eshop PC when? Nintendo is missing big dough in it
No they're not. They're attracting negative attention that will harm them in the long run. You already see disillusioned former nintendo fans here. A few more fuckups like this and there will be hell to pay. Gaming is niche, and nintendo would do well to remember that.
Daniel Sullivan
>made fun of > Glorified What?
Luke Campbell
>You already see disillusioned former nintendo fans here As if Yea Forums matters at all. Who gives a shit about you? Absolutely no one.
Benjamin Morales
Nobody really cares if you're pirating, everybody does it. But people frequently have to use some dumb or strange reasons.
It's hubris like this that led to the Wii, and eventually to the Wii U's downfall. Nintendo is fucking lucky the Switch caught on. Do not piss in your fan's faces.
Nolan Mitchell
>they're winning yeah that's why they had to go after pennies on YouTube and piss everyone off
the signs of a failing company
Wyatt Martin
>the Switch caught on not enough sales though and they already pissed away all they had in the first year
Camden Ramirez
>everyone It's not like pissing the most neckbearded 0.01% of fans hurts them. Their stocks are fine.
A big part of the actual problem here is Youtube itself. Their takedown systems are so open to abuse and blatantly favoring the accuser that I wouldn't be too surprised if it wasn't even Nintendo making the copyright claims.
Charles Mitchell
you mean they piss of 99% of people by catering to the autistic 1%
I would be happy someone stole my idea because it would prove it was a good idea.
Even if it was an idea I make money on I wouldn't give a shit since the guy who "stole" my idea is getting other people interested in it increasing the demand for my idea.
Justin Price
>can't afford to fight them > implying you'll get to fight them
they would never show up in court but would drag the proceedings out for as long as possible just to bleed your bank account until it dies from the assfucking your own lawyer is giving it.
Easton Wood
having a stroke?
Jaxson Rogers
>still using yougetfuckedtube Peertube bro
Jacob Long
oh no, he linked to a website.
Gabriel Gonzalez
>if it wasn't even Nintendo making the copyright claims. since a copyright claim is a legal process you would be doing much more illegal things by claiming shit as nintendo when you're actually not. YT is pozzed as fuck by the legal system in order to protect itself and its status as a """platform"""
Noah Torres
How do you steal an idea? Like copy someone's idea and then give them a lobotomy so they forget it or something?
>Now concerning emulation, I'm pretty sure that Nintendo always stated that it's illegal no matter what They're wrong thoigh
Jayden Diaz
Nope, disney does.
Lincoln Allen
Everytime this type of topic comes up, pirates feel offended like they're morally in the right. If you just want to shit for free just own up to it, and stop acting surprised when the law comes in. I use to pirate games too, but never did i think i was doing the right thing.
