Ampharos does only loading no tripping apply in the same way as the "game genie vs nintendo" case?
no other hacks just no tripping
Most likely, it doesn't matter
what codes are activated. If you do it via anything that doesn't have a Nintendo Seal of Quality on it, it's probably violating your EULA.
Youtube vids fall under fair use imo. They do not bring us any revenue and mostly advertise the game.
If that's the case, then all of those music videos that people post shouldn't be continually taken down, either; they don't bring any revenue and mostly advertise the songs.
Fact of the matter is that Brawl is still Nintendo's IP. If they really wanted to, they could make YouTube take videos down in the same way Warner Brothers is constantly forcing videos off of YouTube that have even a second of unauthorized music.
jesus jack....AA essentially brought up that theres relativley **** nintendo can do to us if they ever for god knows why have an exec at a tourney, and find out we turned off tripping, and for god knows why reports it back to the big-boss/etc....
Yeah, in some fantasy land where the law doesn't apply and/or the law applies in ways that aren't realistic. There is plenty Nintendo can do to you. They can brick your systems if they really want to. Purposefully. And legally.
and what is the big deal with it being a hack?
"Hmm, this new cure will eliminate cancers, cure aids, and make you gorgeous by giving your body F-cells that eliminate unwanted fat! Unfortunatley, we got the cure by killing a Panda Bear...."
Your type of dudes: " ZOMG!!!!!!!!!! NOT T3h PANDA! D:>"
A more accurate analogy would be:
"Hmm, this new cure will eliminate cancers, cure aids, and make you gorgeous by giving your body F-cells that eliminate unwanted fat! Unfortunatley, we got the cure by killing a Panda Bear...."
"Hmm... but killing Panda Bears is currently against the law, even for medical purposes. It seems that we should change the law, but as it stands
now, we should hold off on the Panda killing until it's legal. After all, we're already killing Pandas; doing it illegally will only make things worse."
"NO, WE MUST KILL PANDAS NOW. **** THE LAW. BESIDES, IT'S A STUPID LAW, AND I DON'T AGREE WITH IT."
"But, that won't make the law change any faster. In fact, it will probably increase protections for Pandas, making it harder to get the Pandas we need to cure canc--"
"NO, KILL PANDAS NAO!!11"
completley ignores the outcome of the supposedly negative method to bring it about, even tho the outcome is awesome...only because the method is something you dont like...
There's LOTS of reasons I'm opposed to hacking being a standard. The legal standpoint, the security / logistics standpoint, the ethical standpoint, the slippery slope standpoint...
I have
plenty of reasons, perfectly logical reasons, to disagree.
As of now, the only way to turn off tripping would be to harmlessly go in...
Not harmlessly, from a
legal standpoint, but continue.
...and turn it off with Gecko. If AR came along and did the same thing, would you be opposed to that too? Or will you think it's hunkey-dorey because you had to spend money on AR to do so?
Yes, I'd be opposed to that, too. It's hacking the game. Hacked games are not competitive standards. You don't make a hacked game a competitive standard. At least a AR method is
more likely to be legal, so side events are ok. But not a competitive standard. Not the main event. Not now, not ever.
