Topic	What's your opinion on Nintendo forcing ROM sites to shut down?
Syntheticon 08/21/18 7:54:37 PM #12:	They aren't making a profit (or attempting to, most of these titles are just gathering dust) so they should be left to operate as they are. The fair use system is a good idea but in reality it would never work-Nintendo would only allow this under their own distribution platform or a licensing deal, neither of which can be done for free by any of the existing sites so they would end up having to charge for them. I still think that if any of these sites could get the money together to take this to court then it would finally create a fair user policy on ROMs as so many of these companies aren't even trying to make money of the games in question so they can't make a realistic claim of damages/send C&Ds. --- Mod me?
