[@BakingSoda4U]

For anyone wondering why would Nintendo want to keep all of this old assets locked away from the public, the answer is simple: international copyright law dictates that any knowledge that becomes available to the public without a patent qualifies as "State-of-the-art", meaning that such knowledge (theoretically) becomes part of the big box that is humanity's development on the matter the now publicly available invention is. For more info you can check the pdf available on the following link www.wipo.int/meetings/es/doc_details.jsp?doc_id=287699 Most likely Nintendo has not patented a lot of the stuff that was leaked and, since it is now state-of-the-art because of the leak, they'll have a harder time trying to sue anybody who might create anything based on the leaked assets.

[@ender_scythe2879]

This pertains to patents, which is very different from copyright. Prior art/state of the art states that a patent cannot be substantially similar in an obvious way to previous inventions. Art and other things cannot be patented. Mechanisms and procedures are the only things that can be patented. While the knowledge of the assets is uncopyrightable (all facts are free knowledge), the actual execution of the assets, characters, and other copyrightable features are all copyright by Nintento. They have no harder time suing someone now then they would have had before, if anything they would have an easier time since they could say the person actually saw the material. If the material was still secret it would be highly likely the person just reinvented it without knowing.

[@BakingSoda4U]

@@ender_scythe2879 "While the knowledge of the assets is uncopyrightable" And that's the whole point. Of course nobody (I think) is going to be stupid enough to try and patent a 1:1 copy of any leaked asset. But they can very easily "modify" certain things here and there to make it seem original enough (think of a chinese knock off). "they could say the person actually saw the material" Ok, and how are they goint to prove the defendant actually saw that? Just saying "it became public" is not a very plausible argument, even more so, they'd have to demostrate they actually did what they are claiming they did and, while not impossible, doing so in almost every single possible case doesn't sound too economic, either.

[@ender_scythe2879]

@@BakingSoda4U Couple things: You can't patent a creative work, that's what copyright is for. As far as I can tell patents allow modification (in novel/new ways) to produce new inventions. Copyright can forbid modification. You cannot take an image of a Disney character and add four extra hands, nor could you take the character (not the image, the character itself) and put it in your book. Chinese knock-offs as you put it do infringe on copyright (and trademark) law in the majority of cases. The publicity of this event is massive, everyone knows about it as far as the copyright lawyers care. There was a lawsuit not long ago between I think Taylor Swift and another artist on a very small portion of a song (about 10 beats or so). The justification was the original had 10 million views on KZbin, so they said Taylor Swift unknowingly copied the work. This leak has well over 10 million views if you add all of it up. Nintendo doesn't really care about economic viability when it comes to this stuff. They're really vindictive about fan games etc.

[@BakingSoda4U]

@@ender_scythe2879 "You cannot take an image of a Disney character" Well, that whole argument is based on examples of stuff that was copyrighted already, something we don't know for sure applies to the leaked stuff. So it is all assumption.

[@ender_scythe2879]

@@BakingSoda4U Everything is copyrighted as soon as it is created under the Berne convention. You DO NOT need to register for copyright in the VAST majority of countries, including Japan, USA, China, etc. This material is copyrighted by Nintendo and they can prove that they own and created it. Look up automatic copyright for more information. Copyright registration just proves that you have created it by putting it in some government database. It does not change your rights to the work in any way whatsoever.

These aren't multiple hacks. They're slowly distributing 2TBs of hacked data. The guy who got taken to court got the space world leaks from another source. One guy hacked Nintendo and stole 2TBs of SNES, N64, GameCube and Wii data. He got jailed for it (and for possession of CP) Basically, the guy distributed those 2TBs among several people in case people would get jailed. The task they got is to slowly release the leaks one by one. One of the prominent Pokemon leakers actually came forward about this and confirmed it, while claiming he regretted it and stepping down from his position as a prominent Pokemon leaker. For anyone interested, the GC and Wii data doesn't encompass the games, but mostly E3 notes and presentations for investors. Also the entire process of how a Wii is built from start to finish.

Hartwinner Sega ddi that and then regretted it

[@Kerfufflefuf]

@@Aresydatch Sega has a long streak of making decisions they regret...not a big surprise

Nintendo is to funny with the way they remove their content, they think just disposing of their test cartridges can be like getting rid of their content they’ve scrapped.

I will never understand what's so bad about letting the fans knew what the games originally looked like. I mean, it's clear that it could harm someone if he had leaked games that will come out in the future. But since he only showed us stuff from the past that did not became reality... I can't really understand what the problem is...

On the one hand it’s neat to learn a bunch of this development stuff, but at the same time leaking developers’ private diaries is... kinda skeevy.

I'm kind of curious as to how the damages from these things are calculated. Is there a breakdown of lost earnings and reasoning for why the hack caused those earnings to be lost? Cost of tracking down and apprehending the person? (In that case, would just announcing the hack immediately mean you're not doing any damage?). Cost of managing a PR response? Or are they doing something silly like counting the cost of improving their security afterwards...
