    Emulation is not a crime.

    Yes.

    Refusing to re-release existing games should be.

    …what?? Lol

      Nintendo has hundred of games that people are willing to pay massively inflated prices to play, but Nintendo would rather sue emulation projects.

          Nintendo shouldn’t be allowed to litigate against people they accuse of cutting into sales of not-for-sale games. They know there is a demand for their old catalog but do not release it for sale, forcing a market for piracy.

              It’s the combination of suing for sales that do not exist because they choose not to make those sales. I can’t type it any slower, man.

                I don’t like that Nintendo can sue people for something I don’t think should be illegal. So what THEY do should be illegal instead!

                Is that what you’re getting at? Lol

      I agree, saying that not continuing to make a copyrighted work available should be a crime is ludicrous.

      What failing to keep such works available actually should do is simply immediately cause the copyright to expire and for them to become Public Domain.
