They even went after sites nobody has heard of instead of bigger ones. Nintendo has literally been doing this shit since sites hosting ROMs existed. Emuparadise, which has since taken down all download links to ROMs and ISOs, has been dealing with things like this since 2000. Various other sites would frequently take ROMs of Nintendo games down due to fear of litigation. Nintendo had either paid employees or scraping bots on P2P networks looking for people sharing Nintendo ROMs so they could threaten legal action. LoveROMs was just Nintendo setting an example. They were an easy target for litigation so that Nintendo could send a message to all other sites hosting ROMs. --- The problem with the internet today is that it's filled with entire generations that did not grow up with the great wisdom of the Wyld Stallyns. <cite>dainkinkaide posted [p:912800084] in Nintendo w...
