something for which Nintendo has become a living meme in the video game industry are its constant demands to content creators, this for the incursion of videos of its games and also music in material of Youtube. And now, a new clause is reported that could be somewhat ridiculous to apply, but in the end it is mentioned that it is a reality.
According to the Japanese company itself, if copyright is infringed, the defendant will have to comply with the infringement, no matter if he is alive, dead, missing, or even terminally ill. This gives them the right to take the claim to their direct relatives, whether they are spouses, children, or who are somehow linked to the person who committed the crime.
This is what he commented WesleyBaker, user who discovered the clause related to the violation:
It’s pretty crazy when you get involved. I mean, I’m not sure how other companies handle this kind of thing, but “Nintendo has the right to directly harass, annoy and sue anyone with whom you, the user, are related or associated. This will be done at the sole expense of the poorest of you, the user’s immediate family. We don’t care in the least if you’re dead or not.” I mean, damn it, man. Looks a lot like. I still clicked ‘I agree’, but damn.
This is what she mentioned Nintendo regarding their agreements, specifically the CEO of United StatesDoug Bowser:
Here at Nintendo we know that our decisions are not always popular, but we do what we must to maintain the integrity of our brand. If that means suing your older grandkids that you didn’t even get a chance to meet on the floor because you edited out the dialogue from A Link to the Past and shared it with your friends, then I’m afraid that’s the problem, the cost of being a healthy gaming company.
Now with this clause, perhaps users will reflect a little more before hacking consoles, pirating programs, specifically monetizing music, or making money at the company’s expense. Exaggerated methods, which could bear fruit in the future.
