Forums - Nintendo - I think SNESSuper Famicom Mini is a rip off. Why I suggest not buying.

That's like saying buying groceries is a ripoff because you can just rob the store.  Everything is a ripoff if you're used to getting everything for free.

A more accurate analogy would be self grown food for free. Data multiplication isn't the same as robbery.

Yeah it is. You're illegally taking something that isn't yours. It's the same as walking into a store picking up a game and walking out.

Sure it is. The company put the hard work into creating something and you take a copy of it without paying. It's no different than if you photocopied a book or took a video camera into a movie theater, you have no right to that data regardless of whether the original remains untouched. Taking something that doesn't belong to you is the definition of stealing.

... but you're literally not taking anything in any of those examples.

Yeah you are. We live in a digital age, just because you're not taking something physically, doesn't mean it's not stealing. Using your example, that would mean that hackers that take money from people's accounts aren't stealing.

... again. Copying the file is not taking a file.

Taking money from someone's account is depriving that person of money. They no longer have something they once had. This is stealing. Copying a file on a hard drive is not depriving the owner from that file. They can still access this file as they please. It is not stealing, it is copyright infringement.

Nope, Still stealing. It's data you didn't pay for. You do not have the right to do anything to the data unless it is yours. Even though you are copying it, you're still taking a file without paying for it.

Nope. Still not stealing by any credible definition. Copyright infringement is illegal, which means copying a file you do not have a right to copy is a crime. It's just not stealing. Nothing is being taken. It is only being copied. These are not the same things.

Probably because of the use of the word "fanboy".



pi·ra·cy

noun
unauthorized use or reproduction of another's work.



I think it is an adorable little toy. And, to people like me, that never finished FF6 or Earthbound, it is a very nice offering.
I am all over it if the price in Brazil is around 200 dollars or less.



My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

Pretty weak reasoning coming from you tbh
