I wonder how they deal with flash storage degradation.
EDIT: Apparently the Switch uses something called XtraROM. See This for more info.
non-commercial file sharing is not piracy, the industry just re-defined it because they don’t want anyone to share stuff.
Was Empress also the one who did the unhinged “you are all my simps now” rant thing?
I feel like this post has devolved into nomenclature. My intent was not to tut tut people for using the wrong word, it was to say that Civil Disobedience is actually quite powerful, and we can use it to enact change at the government level.
As someone else said, that’s “passive resistance” and it’s fine and good. Just being a pirate is fighting the good fight.
“Having sex with your bully’s mum is passive resistance; Having sex with your bully’s mum while looking your bully in the eye is civil disobedience”.
Civil disobedience is the active, professed refusal of a citizen to obey certain laws, demands, orders or commands of a government (or any other authority).
The “refusal” part is where you challenge the authorities.
The “professed” part is where you do it publically.
The “media attention” is the bit where you are not an idiot. If no one knows you went to jail, that’s just willfully breaking the law.
My friend, you seem to be too young to have gone to a leech-n-lan. Those were indeed the days… yarrr…
I think it’s the other way around. Civil Disobedience is a type of passive resistance, but I think we’re both saying the same thing here. You don’t just have to do civil obedience to have passive resistance, and other techniques are equally valid. The two even go well together.
For example if a small number of people do a civil disobedience, you can quietly seed as well, so even if they’re all jailed the seeding will continue.
+1. I was giving an example but you really need everyone involved to sit down and think through the way things are going to work. Every successful act of civil disobedience is thoroughly planned out.
+1, it’s fine to just share.
Also I guess a finer point: Non-commercial filesharing is not piracy, we just call it that (somewhat) ironically because this is how the industry wants to label us. Almost all the laws imply a profit being made.
You must do it “loudly”. You have to seed in front of the prime minister, or get the news to cover you doing it, and put your real name out there.

I wonder where they went…
Or abcde for command line.
There’s also Diablo with Devilution.
Someone apologising for a repost? That’s howyou know it’s not Reddit.
I reject your idea that it could allow copyright laundering
It’s fine, that doesn’t change the legality. Unsure whether a judge would include reasoning like this in their judgement.
My license to play the game allows me to incorporate my gameplay into a new work,
No, you are not freely allowed to create derivative works. You are probably arguing fair use or fair dealing, but Twitch streaming generally wouldn’t count (it’s not part of the list of exceptions).
You seem to be talking via theory not actual law. Most lawyers say it would need to be tried in court but Nintendo (it was Nintendo making the claims at the time) would have a solid case. The reason is that it would allow copyright laundering: You could play the game and license the “video” to a game company which could use the assets in the video (eg: Mario) to make a new Mario game.
Writers give publishers legitimacy. Publishers will regularly pull the writers out to trot out some “copyright is important” line.
