Is Nintendo watching us?

[Deleted member 719522]

As far as I know they only take action against those who distribute their intellectual property or DRM circumventing measures, eg. Gary Bowser and the Yuzu team, but I feel a bit uneasy thinking they might be watching my Echoes of Wisdom leak thread.

They're not going to sue you for posting about a leak. That would be stupid.

I believe they have in the past requested certain threads be removed, and the admins have complied. That's really the extent of it.

There's a reason on why Nintendo wouldn't sue you for posting about a leak. If it's readily available from a variety of public sources, then the end result would be that of a DMCA takedown, a slap on the wrist if you will.

Yes, the ninjas are looking over our shoulders, big N have several Temper accounts and have robots analyzing this site with magnifying glass.

Nintendo have an army of laywers monitoring the web, not just GBAtemp, so in a way yes they are watching us along with the rest of the Internet. I do not think GBAtemp gets special treatment.

We do our best to keep things entirely legal, but if a user posts something which our mod team deems illicit, we do our best to take it down immediately. And if anything gets past our mod filters, we may occasionally receive DMCA complaints, which we comply with - only after verifying that they are valid.

When this happens, the content author will be personally notified, to alert them that their content was taken down. Repeat offenders may get "warns" and other regular enforcement for forum offenses. This doesn't happen very often.

Yes, they are, don't take your Nintendo console to the toilet, just in case.

Yeah. I personally believe the TEMP might even have Nintendo related people registered as members.
We might not know who they are, but it's absurd to deny the possibility... I mean... nearly all the Unofficial Software that has been detected in Nintendo consoles "comes" from here, and there's even tutorials on how to circumvent such anti piracy measures. I'm honestly surprised the TEMP hasn't been touched by Nintendo's lawyers yet.
GBATEMP has been very wise to keep out of such troubles.

 

[impeeza]

there's even tutorials

Not anymore, all tutorials about specific removing protections are DMCAded from GBATemp.

 

[linuxares]

yes, of course

Almost certainly not. If a newspaper publishes libel, do the victim's lawyers go after people talking about it on Facebook, or the newspaper themselves?

Yes. In fact, @mrmiyamoto is a regular on the board.

This is the real answer.

Nintendo sees you when you're sleeping
Nintendo knows when you're awake
Nintendo knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for Nintendo's sake
