It's not just about the sanctity of copyright law anymore—Japan's foreign ministry is apparently worried that the US government is damaging the brands.

    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.

    Nintendo would like everyone to forget about Jynx from Pokemon and nearly every opponent in the Punch-Out series aside from Mike Tyson himself.

    (they’re all racist stereotypes)

    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.

              So you’re pretty sure of stuff you’re very wrong about and don’t wanna check your facts. It’s very MAGA for someone so anti-Trump.

    To bad US copyright is only sometimes enforced. You ain’t a US record label so good luck.

    Everyone who got tariffed needs to drop the us copyright act. Its so cucked to have this in exchange for free trade then get tariffed. Then have the US blatantly disregard copyright and in front of everyone but still enforce it on non American companies.
