WOKE UP THIS MORNING, GOT MYSELF A SUPERGUN
then i woke up the next day and got some gabagool
I'd like to patch those screens out of a lot of my arcade games.
'oah! A mad man, this fucken guy.
NO WAITU PIGGU YOU CANNOT PRAY ZISSU GEEMU! CRIMINAL!
>>12544462I remember seeing one that listed basically every major country/region at once. Like, where the fuck ARE you legally supposed to play it then, the moon?
>>12544523>CLIMINARR!
>>12544462ydbtg
So wait, doesn't Japan have first sale doctrine? As in, once a physical product is lawfully sold, the buyer is allowed to resell it without restriction? How exactly does importing a legally obtained game break copyright law?
>>12545251It doesn't. It's wishful thinking, they prints words hoping people will believe them. In my country there are stickers on the back of buses claiming they have the right of way and take priority. No, they don't have extra rights.
>>12545254I don't want to start an argument or get too off topic but are you sure about that whole bus thing because they have those same stickers where I live and it is very much a real law over here
>>12544446
>>12545251This warning appears regardless of region, it will just replace Japan with whatever region it's being sold in. But like >>12545254 said it's illegal and not legally enforceable. I suppose at worst the company selling them not not sell them to you if they actually care... and find out.. but for the most part it was worthless.
>>12544462you didn't beat the game
>>12545254>It doesn't. It's wishful thinking, they prints words hoping people will believe them.did you know that NOA's website always used to claim emulation was illegal in all circumstances even after it was ruled legal in Sony v. Bleem?
>>12545508They tried to make it sound illegal by specifically talking about emulators that are ONLY designed for piracy, which of course no emulator is, but they worded it that way to make it sound like they were talking about emulators in general and that all emulators are illegal. It was on their site for years before it was updated, and it sounded more like it was written by a whiny Nintendo fanboy than a professional lawyer. The new one is better, but still full of laughably bad examples and whining.(I love the part where they ask themselves the question of why not just make legal emulators, and can't think of a reason why not to their own question so they basically just stamp their foot and basically go "because I said so!")
>>12545276>fbi actually doing their jobTheyre too busy worrying about what you ate for breakfast.
>>12545591Man I always see these companies say they don't want to encourage ROM piracy but I bet you could take out a decent chunk of piracy just by making the ROMs available for purchase. Probably not a huge majority of it, but a notable amount.
>>12545591Why Are The Questions Like This and the answers like this?!
>>12545251Buying and playing the arcade board at home in private isn't an issue but operating it in public to charge quarters for people to play is a different thingI know for movies it's called "public performance rights," dunno if they use that same term for arcade games
>>12544446I wouldn't drive a Toyota anywhere; they're inferiour to Mazdas.
>>12545770they do, Nintendo especially puts old games up for sale on basically every new system they make. and people go on the internet and laugh at them for it, saying "why would I pay $20 for a game from 1998 when I can emulate it for free?"
>>12546201I don't mean ROMs wrapped up in an emulator, I mean the raw ROM file. Like, just give me the ROM file and let me play it on whatever emulator I want.
