Nintendo demands a website that shares their games for free
LoveRETRO and LoveROMs websites became Nintendo’s target in copyright matters
The development of the game world cannot be underestimated anymore. Big companies like Sony for example, it may not matter if the emulator appears. Considering the price of the Sony console which is still expensive to date, it doesn’t take into account the price of the existing games. Japanese company, Nintendo do not remain silent on this copyright issue.
Two websites that provide ROMs, LoveROMs and LoveRETRO are Nintendo’s main targets for suing (PDF regarding Nintendo’s lawsuit case). There is a reason why both websites are being pursued by Nintendo in matters of copyright.
“The LoveROMs website alone receives 17 million visitors each month. Such visitors are drawn to the website by the widespread availability of free, unauthorized copies of Nintendo’s video games and other highly valuable intellectual property. ” the LoveROMs website alone manages to reach 17 million visitors each month. Which means LoveROMs itself can generate hundreds of thousands of US dollars, even more every month just by giving free ROMs to players.
In response to this, LoveROMs deleted all games made for Nintendo, but not for other games. As for LoveRETRO, they are deactivating their website until an unknown date. The number that was being sued by Nintendo was also unmitigated. As much as US $ 150,000 for every Nintendo game on the website, and also US $ 2,000,000 for copyright matters only. In addition, the 2 websites are also required to provide all domains that provide these games.
