  • Ugh, not this again. I’m very adamantly against piracy and I’ve personally dumped every one of my Switch ROMs from games I physically own, but these kinds of stunts make me want to pirate Nintendo games purely out of spite. Hopefully this gets thrown out or otherwise resolved quickly. The issue of clean room emulators has been tested before and found to be fair use and to my knowledge there’s no legal precedent for Nintendo’s claims.








  • I worry about the precedent that this sets. My understanding is that the EU has been as successful as it has in large part because of the fact that many decisions like this require unanimity, and bypassing that may lead to an overall weakening of the union.

    Frankly, I think the other 26 members should seriously be looking into the possibility of ejecting Hungary from the bloc. It’s absolutely absurd that Orban has been able to hold the entire EU hostage time and time again, and I don’t really see any other way to remedy the problem short of a full-on revolution in Hungary.
