Nintendo isn't a person. It's a corporation. When their most important game of the year is leaked and spread on the web one week before release, they are kind of pressured to conduct legal action.
Yeah? 1. You're pulling crap out of your ass. Nobody said it's a person, it's a bunch of picks running a company, we all know that. 2. They deserve to get fucked sideways with this and more for bullying people drowning them in legal action with their infinite money glitch, only because "why not?".
So, without a pinch of respect for them, you or anyone that defends their asshole behavior, fuck off.
What exactly am I "pulling out of my ass"?
You're talking about Nintendo as if it's a person with phrases like your bullet point 2.
I'm not defending anyone. I'm describing how a corporation is likely to react in capitalism. I don't condone any of this: I don't condone copyright laws, I don't condone legal threats, I don't condone capitalism. I just try to describe how systems behave without trying to get morality involved by claiming a company is (or is run by) an or several assholes.
I also don't condone nuclear weapons when I describe the strategy of deterrence by mutually assured destruction.
