Thanks for your detailed and informative reply! I do have to say, at least for Nintendo, the delusion seems to hold up to reality pretty well. Maybe it doesn't really apply in this IA thing, since it is possible to find, for e.g., a pl

So what makes it illegal? If the law requires the copyright holder to complain, and complaints are handled according to the law, what’s illegal there? Also, why do you say Nintendo is deluding themselves? There are no obvious Nintendo prope

I had to stare at this for a minute or too before I understood that Leo Laporte died. Even as clickbait it’s confusing, because of the word “minor”. One of the worst titles on HN in some time. Please change it.

I have never heard this ridiculous claim, and I don’t believe you have either. It would make about as much sense as believing everyone who comments on HN.
