AntiWinner22 Posted October 29, 2004 Posted October 29, 2004 I would be in Nintendo's corner if a girl on SuicideGirls was making sweet love with a figurine of a Nintendo character or fondling one. Guess what though? That isn't the case. It isn't part of anything remotely sexual. Sure, it is on a journal, on a somewhat pornographic site, but it is on a favorites list... Hey, didn't Playboy review some Gamecube games? Doesn't Maxim, FHM, or those other review Gamecube games too? Why don't they get sued? People who go to "read Maxim" are the same that go to SuicideGirls, so what is the difference? My opinion? Bull$hit. Utter Bull$hit. Anon.
Swithin Posted October 29, 2004 Posted October 29, 2004 Exactly. Who remembers RAPE?, the NGP emulator... basically, they used Pikachu as the program's icon (as in, click to launch program icon thing.) Well, they got a cease-and-desist. And that's the right application of such a thing. This girl just wrote the word "Zelda" and got sent a threatening letter. She certainly didn't use it in any commercial application, nor did she use any copyrighted material, nor did she associate Zelda with any sexual acts or activities, or even with a single explicit word. She just *referred* to a trademarked title in a forum in which you can't really *not* refer to a trademarked title, which as far as I can tell violates absolutely no sane IP laws anywhere (and if there are laws which could apply to her, I say we all violate them in protest on a daily basis.) I'm wondering if Nintendo is at all involved in this, or just their trigger-happy lawyers.

Anon.<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Of course, the irony is that I was reading the thread on the sg forum, and I couldn't see any of the pictures the girls were posting because you'd have to pay to do that, but according to the captions/accompanying test the way they plan to protest this lawsuit is to take many many photographs of themselves masturbating with nintendo controllers!

Agozer Posted October 29, 2004 Posted October 29, 2004 Exactly. Who remembers RAPE?, the NGP emulator... basically, they used Pikachu as the program's icon (as in, click to launch program icon thing.) Well, they got a cease-and-desist.Oh so that's what happened to it... It was a very good NGP emulator too (befor NeoPop that is). But I guess the name and the icon just screamed "shut me down, Nintendo".
Swithin Posted October 29, 2004 Posted October 29, 2004 Hey, Nintendo acted honorably. Guess someone at the Big N checks "those darned internets" to see what people are saying about their fine company. Oh well, good on Nintendo for clearing it up.
Gryph Posted October 29, 2004 Author Posted October 29, 2004 Awesome, I guess there is justice after all. As a gesture of goodwill, we would like to offer you (and RuneLateralus) a free Nintendo video game system and game of your choice. (...)Haha, sweet! Internets...hahahahahaha! I just love that.
Shibathedog Posted November 5, 2004 Posted November 5, 2004 i see why they did this, but calm the heck down, if i where to do something like say... I like Mariocrap balls ass OMG IM GOING TO GET A LETTER FROM NINTENDO NOW!! AHHHH!! No but seriously WTF, i think they need to calm down. Plus they are ignorant too, i dont think they have any idea how many flash animations there are invovling nintendo characters and TONS of innapropriate crap.

Sybarite Paladin AxL Posted November 6, 2004 Posted November 6, 2004 Nintendo sucks and they should all have a life-sized Mario doll shoved in their ass
