I suppose that does make sense, still lame though. I do hope that everyone starts dog piling on Nintendo soon though. They are almost as bad as Disney with hogging all the cool generational content behind bullshit public domain laws
I stopped buying Nintendo products awhile ago. I’m not a fan of how they treat people. The DMCA needs to be eradicated, it is just a way for companies to bully people.
It also allows you to easily take down someone infringing upon your own rights to your work. Prior to the DMCA, you’d either have to rely on the good graces of the hosting platform, pay a lawyer for a C&D, or file a lawsuit.

It uses assets owned and copyrighted by Nintendo. It doesn’t matter if it’s free, If they don’t want their stuff being used, they have that choice.
Minecraft has a pokemon mod, wonder where nintendo lawyers were with that one?
I mean if you brag enough they can request a takedown, go ahead!
Pointing fingers with this kind of thing is silly. It’s obvious it’s because it drew attention.

The DMCA safe harbor provision is absolutely huge to the ability of sites to host user generated content.
Without it, sites would have to be far more restrictive because they’d potentially be liable for that content.
