- jsheard 9y agoThe courts are on Nintendo's side here in the UK at least: http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2010/01/british_r4_card_importer_shipping_off_to_prison http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2010/01/british_r4_card_imp... http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2010/07/high_court_outlaws_flash_carts_in_uk http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2010/07/high_court_outlaws_... I assume the DMCA anti-circumvention rules let them make a similar argument in the US.
- jasonkostempski 9y agoThat's nuts. I'm sure if the DMCA covered it, there'd be cases on record of it happening (too lazy to search). I have no doubt there's a cases for selling counterfeit games but to outlaw the possession of the cart itself is ridiculous. A 1 year sentence is even more ridiculous. > the judge argued that "the mere fact that the device can be used for a non-infringing purpose is not a defence." That judge is unfit to be a judge.
