Re: Smash Comp The Big House Cancelled After Cease And Desist From Nintendo

@JuiceMan_V Well that's just a bare-faced lie on Nintendo's part, since the tournament's entrants all have their own individual iso of Melee, none of which were provided by Big House. Some of those isos, were legally obtained, some weren't, but it genuinely doesn't matter since it can't be proven. Nintendo's demands were to not have Melee at Big House, which is absurd. Personally I think this is just another desperate attempt from Nintendo to shut down emulation while blatantly ignoring the legality behind it.

@Cosats Which doesn't matter since legality of roms and isos can't be proven. The only people in legal danger are distributors of said roms and isos. Nintendo have no way of knowing if soneone playing Melee online is using a legally or illegally obtained iso, which is why they've lost lawsuits regarding emulation in the past.

This is really sad honestly, Melee's never been in a better place. Slippi made the world of difference to me in lockdown and it introduced me to one of the most fun games and welcoming communities I've had the pleasure of being in. This hurts, you can argue that Nintendo have the right, but this is morally disgusting. Taking away online events in the middle of a pandemic is beyond awful.
