Re: Nintendo's Updated Guidelines For Tournaments & Content Creation Sparks Community Backlash

@HeadPirate

What happened was that there were abuse scandals and Nintendo hates mods because they interfere with the original creative vision (They don't hate fans lol).

You also said that Nintendo can't take down every tournament or copyright violation... but they can at least take down any that exist online, Music detection systems are very powerful, that's why they were able to put out these guidelines, they do turn a blind eye.

It's not a fantasy to fight for rights to use things we own, I do not live In LaLaland, If I was I would be suggesting that Nintendo allow piracy. I believe that copyright needs limits to how far it can control users. Things like taking videos and posting what they play, hosting events, even right to repair, which many companies use copyright and voiding warranties to fight. We do not enter contracts when we buy food, a wrench, or a puzzle (closest comparison to creative works I can think of). We can film these things, host events that involve them. I know that the public performance laws for copyright outright prohibit these things for games and other forms of media. Posting Elsa's Let it go should not happen, but having a video be taken down because it was playing in the background of something different, I could see fair use being extended. People even abuse copyright to cover up evidence of abuse (See Police using it prevent filming Brutality)

Many people claim fair use when backed into a corner with copyright, that's the only thing they do really.

I don't believe I have a strong enough arguement for modding. So I won't bother with that.

(replacing old message to add context to convo, otherwise I'm peacing out)@sanderev preventing piracy is protecting sales, controlling a tournament is not protecting sales at least for people who actually know a thing or two about how brands work, for people who can't tell their brands from their behinds, it is protecting sales.
My issue is that controlling how a user uses your expression is not a form of protection offered for most forms of expression (Look at people quoting eachother out of context on twitter, unregulated.). So that is a reason I disagree that games should have the same protection. that is a form of me disagreeing with it, I'm sure I can find others if I'm pressed.

@HeadPirate IP holders shouldn't have rights to control users. Only to protect sales. And this is control of how the game itself is used. If one doesn't follow guidelines, Nintendo enforces copyright instead of turning a blind eye. I don't think they should have rights to turn a blind eye sometimes, and enforce other times. It's too messy.

An aside regarding modification and fanwork, I only have beliefs here, that only modifications that replace existing works should be struck down. I do not think this part is strong enough to debate, as it is not wholly definitive. Please respond to the first part instead.

The world explainin why it's complaining at the rendevous deliciously positioned to empower, the esports scene at this dark hour.

This is meant to be read to section 3 of The World Revolving, the one with Gaster's Theme in it. The part where it goes in circles whimsically as the speed falls down a toilet and becomes a catch me if you can.

TLDR: EVENT GOOD.
