Nintendo lawyers have filed copyright complaints against Super Mario 64 PC port

@Nintendo First Order Reaver
I used to stay just bc it made me laugh; (comedy gold of 2016-2017 era SMG4)
But I hav enjoyed his new content as well. Its still the same comedy vids he has always done. But I like tht the characters hav a more fleshed out development; some decent stories and his “Arcs” are pretty decent to good.
The channel has become more like a Saturday morning cartoon, than a simple yt vid for comedy.
His quality in story telling has jumped a lil ever since he helped work on, Meta Runner’s 1st season.

I feel like everyone forgots that super mario 64 in hd incident that got remove years ago

“do they really expect that VPN companies want their product advertised as “Good for covering up illegal activity”.”

Civil liability, not criminal activity. 100% chance the VPN would rather defend the identities of people performing minor acts of copyright abuse than be known as the VPN who easily hands out the identity of its customers.

“In fact VPN can’t help them for this. The police can always ask to the VPN provider what IP has the router of the person who is using it for hosting this port.”

It isn’t a criminal charge. The police won’t be involved. Nintendo can, and probably will, ask for a court order to provide the IP address. IF the VPN stores that information, which they shouldn’t, then Nintendo can serve papers but the IP address isn’t evidence of who specifically committed the act. It will be hard for Nintendo to serve papers, but Nintendo has shown they’re willing to spend the dollars to defend the pennies so there’s a good shot they’ll get there in the end.

“Nintendo is still legally obligated to take action because it’s all or nothing when it comes to IP protection” You know, people like to say this a lot to act like Nintendo has no choice but…it’s really not true, like by far Nintendo is the most trigger happy when it comes to taking down fanworks, emulations, heck even lets players and the definition on emulations and fair use on their own site is blatantly untrue.

Sega has’nt lost the I.P to Sonic and they literally went out of their way to get together fan-gamers to make a sonic thing and have shown nothing but support for fan projects of all kinds, they didn’t take down the Sonic X reanimated, they publicized it and more.
I don’t believe any other company has made a big stint out of chasing down pirates either, barring some companies such as Capcom using anti measures like Denuvo which…just don’t work and only serve to screw over paying customers(but that’s a different discussion).

The truth is, no other company feels the need to do this as much as Nintendo does and they themselves vastly, vastly overestimate the “harm” that this stuff does(when studies have shown piracy, emulation etc to have a negligible effect on the industry, especially for games this old, not to mention the age old false idea that piracy=lost sale, I could also go into how piracy is in some ways necessary for games preservation because companies have shown a complete lack of responsibility on this themselves).

The irony is that Sega should have far more reason to be scared of fan-games and the like because their own work keeps getting one upped by it in the public mind, but they don’t. Nintendo on the other hand gets scared shit-less that Pokemon Uranium will eat into S/S sales, like there even exists a reality out there where a Pokemon fan is gonna turn down S/S for Uranium.

But I told you that Nintendo is gonna take action on it. Also the link I found was on a Google drive, which is the common app that people used for put stuff. It’s an easy target for Nintendo. The port can’t be removed indeed but the links yes.
