the moment nintendo allowed them to use pokemon memes, its too late.
No one in the entire world except Kid Rock and Taylor Swift are proud and happy to be featured in Trump’s insane bullshit.
If Nintendo sues the US government for copyright infringement lemmy’s collective head would explode trying to figure out who to root for.
It will never happen because that’s not what U.S. courts are for.
Would be funny as hell if it got them kicked out of okinawa, though.
There’s a morejapabese version of this. From a Godzilla movie I believe.
I already said in another post that all those tech billionaires LotR-“inspired” surveillance companies will turn me pro IP-law. All those fascist doomsday fuckers can do is steal ideas.
So every book should now be in a solarpunk setting so they start copying those ideas?
IP law will never actually fight against them. Not in ways that matter. Only ending capital.
Let them fight, I can root for both sides to lose
I believe there is a traditional Japanese meme for this.
So Captain Bonespurs McSyphilis can freely use Nintendo IP to troll libs online with no consequence whatsoever, but Normie McRegularPerson can pour their heart and soul into making a fan game, fan art, or modding consoles, and they literally will be arrested, thrown in jail, convicted of a felony and be forced to pay Nintendo for the rest of their lives as a literal wage slave.
That’s United States of America. The country of free speech, and the land of opportunities. The democracy every country should strive for!
They got tariff money and tariff refunds, they’ll be alright…
Speaking of Nintendo that is…
« When you’re famous, they let you do it »…
When Trump uses American copyrighted stuff, he gets sued.
If Japan wants Trump to stop they have to start a war.
That’s what Trump wants. Another war.
Nintendo is fully capable of suing Trump for it, they just don’t like suing people who can afford attorneys fees.
Trump can’t afford discovery. Too much truth for him.
The us government has a base in Japan. They can be asked to leave. This would piss the CIA off so much.
