They do. Look at any IP infringement case in the last decade. Every ROM company Nintendo has shut down has been forced to give Nintendo the website and all data, including account information of everyone who’s ever accessed it. When you use someone else’s IP without their express written permission, everything…

Except your law office would be like “They are within their legal rights to demand that, provide it immedately to avoid a costly lawsuit that you will lose.”
That’s the problem when you play around with someone else’s code, they can demand you give them all the changes and require you tell them who made them.

Depends on the size of the picture. Blown up like that, I can see it fine, but once it gets a bit smaller, yeah, it goes anal.

Epic has a large collection, but almost none of them are eCommerce based. And, as we’ve seen, they hate giving people money when they don’t have to.

Not directly, since no company says that’s what they’re doing (though you can find devs now and then talking about having to avoid patents). But the list of patents for eCommerce stuff is pretty long. The patent on the IDEA of the shopping cart didn’t die until 2013, but Apple owns one for a bar showing the progress…

Part of the problem is just making it. Steam holds a lot of patents for basic things and how they function in a online video game store, other companies own other ones, so when you have to code around what would be the easiest option, yeah, things get janky.

Biden never said that. Both he and Harris both said “We’ll get you the rest of that $2000 you were promised.” They never promised a second, $2000 check. Bernie Sanders and AOC said it should be a new $2000 check, as did a lot of progressives. He said in Georgia “We’ll get that bill passed.” “That bill” that Mitch…

Technically, the bundle never exceeds the MSRP of everything in the bundle combined. They just make more profit off the games is all.

Because there’s almost no profit for them. To buy it wholesale, you have to agree to the supplier’s rules (read:Sony’s rules) and register as a business and pay taxes. You can’t charge over MSRP. Because the normal profit margin on hardware sales is slim (about $1 profit per $100 in cost, though gross profit is about…

The very first line of your link:
“Criminal defendants are entitled to trial by jury”
This was not going to be a criminal trial, but a civil one.

He was telling people where to buy the modified code and getting a cut from his referrals.
She couldn’t have demanded a jury trial, copyright courts (this was a copyright violation), are specialty judges. You can only demand a trial by jury in a criminal case. IF either side says “no jury” in a non-criminal then you…

Nintendo has an estimated $5 billion USD cash on hand. I think they have more wheelbarrows of cash than they know what to do with.

Again, this is untrue. Go watch the trailer of “PS4 gameplay” they released this year then compare it to what actually got released.

To be fair, the last time we saw what was claimed to be PS4 footage has since been proven to be PC footage, same with the “footage” from the Ps4 Pro. And the PS4 pro footage was uploaded on Nov 24 of this year. So to pretend that people knew what they were getting, when the company was putting out fake footage and…

Read the Bleem! and Bleemcast! cases. They didn’t win because they were emulators, they won a fair use case involving using screenshots for advertising. The case actually states that since the Bleem! emulator requires the original media to function (aka the disc the game was in), it wasn’t considered an illegal…

Microsoft shut down the ability for an emulator to work on the 360 at the rest of Nintendo. If a user never updated, they could continue, but it’s likely an update would wipe it out and not updating means no network access.

I mean, if you have plus and a friend with a PS5, you can get the entire PS5 Plus Instant Game collection for the PS4.

Ripping a ROM isn’t illegal. Using it is. Copyright law only allows you to use that ripped ROM as an “archival copy” to replace the original if it gets destroyed. It must then be transferred to the same media type. You also aren’t allowed to do a “format switch” under copyright law, so you can’t take a Gamecube game…

Depends on the event. Some, like Easter, just turn into ordinary days.

You cannot download a ROM of a game, even if you own it. The posting of the ROM itself is the crime, you downloading it. Furthermore, the tourny was distributing modded copies of the game. That alone is a serious crime.
Emulators are a legal gray area. There hasn’t been a whole lot of cases in the last 20 years that…
