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.

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.
