What a shit take.

Do you really think anybody trying to pit Nintendo against DHS would identify as a capitalist? You gonna accuse people of relying solely on their one protest to prevent fascism, as though its impossible to do or care more than one thing at once?

Get off it. It's not going to go anywhere, but it's funny and doesn't detract from serious efforts.

I'd still prefer to hold corporations to account while the workers are still thinking about seizing the means of production and whatnot.

No one is relying on Nintendo to prevent fascism and if that's your take-away from an image talking about boycotting Nintendo I don't know what the fuck else to say mate, maybe try being brained at all?

Corporations exist to diffuse responsibility, which is fundamentally and inherently sociopathic.

Lawyer here! Rule number one: don’t sue on something you know for a fact will lose.

DHS’ use of pokemon parodies is completely legal fair use. Nintendo knows this and would end up wasting (hundreds of) thousands of dollars in US court on a losing argument if they sued DHS. Also, courts are far more likely to side with the US Govt than a foreign corporation.

This has nothing to do with “defending” copyright because nothing DHS did threatened Nintendo’s copyrights. DHS knows this, Nintendo knows this, but some of yalls seem confused.

Defending your copyright is mandatory if you want to keep it.

You are thinking of trademark. Copyright can not be removed unless you explictly waive your rights away. Use to, you had to register copyright to obtain it. But today, it is immediately granted the moment the copyrighted peice is created. Registering is merely for record keeping making it easier to prove ownership.

I've been exiting the Nintendo ecosystem for a while now. I have no plans to buy a switch 2

Realistically, what did anyone expect them to do?

You want them to sue the US government? For a song that, while technically copyrighted, is so prolifically used that they’d be laughed out of court?

a zillion musicians already have.

You act like most lawsuits in the country aren't against the US government. It's in no way unique or unusual thing.

Nintendo had literally nothing to gain from fighting this.

Oh well, give them something to gain for it than. Such as pegging them to a fascist hate-filled regime and harming their family friendly PR.
