@Cool_Squirtle We should mainly focus on teaching pedo people to not be pedo people. Our society created them by glamourizing sexuality in video games.
How many times do we see pedo games and over sexualization in movies and music. Our society created them, now we have to erase them.
We have to stop supporting such things. Speak with your money. Money can do some powerful things. Defund any that associate with said offenses.
We need more women in the Smash game also, this will help bring more females to play the game. And please Nintendo, we need black characters. It's 2020, not 1920.
@TG16_IS_BAE If graphics weren't gimmicks why do people love old and old school indie games so much. Why do people love Animal Crossing, Minecraft, and Fortnite. LMAO
@JimmySpades Exactly, I'm not spending 3K on a gaming PC just so I can enjoy slightly better graphics. As long as game is fun, I don't care about such gimmicks.
Wow, can't believe the company would do such a shady thing. Adding the info in way later and then blame people for not reading...I can't belive what I'm reading.
@Damo Like I stated, the law can't stop you from using a device that rips movies, music or other non copyrighted content. But companies do have a US Law that states it's illegal to rip movies, music, games that they own righthe to. I can make music and rip my music from my cd to Itunes.
I can not make a game for Nintendo Switch and than sell a device so people can rip my game I created for the Switch. That's why video game rippers for gaming device is illegal but you can buy cd and DVD rippers.
One is for non copyrighted content. That's why it's legal.
@bahooney That's their choice. Maybe they don't care for the little money they make of such a big task. I'm sure they make way more be remaking a game than selling the old one. That's their choice.
Law is the law, they have the right to protect their full original content from wannabe entitled thieves.
@Damo That link gave the US law title 17 which clearly states it's illegal. Fair use law doesn't mean you can back up full original content. DVD rippers you see in store is for non copyright content used for personal use. Like your grandma's wedding, not your copy of the Avengers or Mario Bros. That is government law, not a statement from a company.
I also gave you Nintendo link which states the same. Same as Sony, Disney and any other company. They aren't making up what's legal and illegal.
There's a reason you won't see IGN posting stuff like this.
Wow, UK group now thinks baseball card packs are gambling. Claw machines are gambling now. Quarter bubble gum machines are gambling. Lol, these lords are a joke.
While you’re most likely going to be fine ripping DVDs here and there, there are some key things you should know about the law.
Ripping copy-protected DVDs is illegal… technically
Laws are kind of all over the place when it comes to ripping DVDs for personal use. See, it’s perfectly legal to rip DVDs that are not copies of copyrighted work. But chances are, most of the movies you’re planning on digitizing have several layers of copyright protections.
In the U.S., it is still illegal to rip DVDs of copyrighted work for personal use, though there are several groups working to change this law.
Title 17 of the U.S. State Code explicitly states that it is illegal to reproduce a copyrighted work. So, just about anything that comes with a label indicating copyright, which includes basically any movie you can think of.
Most DVDs and Blu-Rays come with encryption attached and breaking that encryption is illegal. If you happen to come across an unencrypted DVD, ripping it for personal use is A-OK.
@TG16_IS_BAE I backed up my proof it's illegal. Not a signal user backed up their opinion with facts. Every single movie, sports event, video game, etc states it's illegal. It's clear as day.
@Damo If backing up your device was legal, then third party would legally sell backup devices to people and make a fortune. Yet they can't cause it's illegal. Backing up movies and music is illegal also unless the artist states otherwise.
Any full content reproduction of an artists content is illegal. Just look at NBA, NFL, Soccer, MLB, etc. Look at Disney movies or any other movies. It's clearly illegal.
Would love for yall to find a law that states you can legally backup full original content from an artist.
Ripping games is illegal and not authorized by Nintendo. You do not own the rights to the games you buy, read your tos. Something Nintendo Life should know. We expect better journalism from your writers Nintendo Life. Please do better.
"Are Game Copying Devices Illegal?"
"Yes. Game copiers enable users to illegally copy video game software onto floppy disks, writeable compact disks or the hard drive of a personal computer. They enable the user to make, play and distribute illegal copies of video game software which violates Nintendo's copyrights and trademarks. These devices also allow for the uploading and downloading of ROMs to and from the Internet. Based upon the functions of these devices, they are illegal."
Thank you Nintendo, the industry needs more developers like you. Too many are scared to do something different and against the grain. Gaming would die again without yall.
Loving this one. It does a perfect job of protecting the Switch while also looking very fashionable. I hate the big bulky cases that treat you like a kid. I'm an adult, I can take proper care of my Switch, I don't need training wheels no more senior.
