I think I heard that they were on nintendolife. If so, those two are morons.

I understand why nintendo is doing what they're doing. Its their right to do it.

But I think perhaps games made by defunct companies that nobody has picked up after a certain amount of years, can go into public domain.

Like music and books do looong after the original owners died. (No one sane is gonna throw a fit and sue for downloading Twinkle Twinkle Little Star for a kindergarten class right?)

That way future generations can play games they might not have a chance to play otherwise and companies that are still kicking around won't hafta worry about piracy as much.

I think that would be an excellent compromise.


Then there's the case of nobody knowing who owns the rights to certain games so it gets stuck in copyright hell.
