    And why shouldn’t they? This is blatant piracy of the source material, not to mention unauthorized usage of their intellectual property per the Digital Melenium Copyright Act (DMCA) of 1996 hereby specifying in section 2.1 article C clause 7, quot: “In accordance with the applicable intellectual property laws, the registered holder of digital ownership is hereby prohibited from editing or modifying third-party copies of copyrighted material without the explicit consent or authorization of the copyright holder. Any such unauthorized usage constitutes a violation of the copyright holder’s exclusive rights and may result in legal action under the relevant statutes.”

    Sorry to interject but I graduated from law school and blatant disrespect to copyright law like this urks me. I will let it slide and not report this post, but I would recommend at least putting a disclaimer or rewording it to avoid a lawsuit from Nintendo.

      If buying ain’t owning, piracy ain’t stealing.
