    If Nintendo sues the US government for copyright infringement lemmy’s collective head would explode trying to figure out who to root for.

        It will never happen because that’s not what U.S. courts are for.

      I already said in another post that all those tech billionaires LotR-“inspired” surveillance companies will turn me pro IP-law. All those fascist doomsday fuckers can do is steal ideas.
