Nintendo to Investigating Possible Copyright Infringement By Nokia



It has already been reported that Video gaming giant Nintendo is looking into the possibility of copyright infringement over the use of emulators running various Nintendo games on high-end Smartphones and other unauthorized hardware.

Wait... wut?
How can Nokia be in infringement if it's not Nokia that's developing the emulators?
Unless I'm mistaken it's 3rd party devs who make the emulators therefore Nokia cannot be responsible. Maybe i'm mistaken or somthing

Then again, why pay for it when you can get it for free, although illegally? Maybe that idea wouldn't work.

i think there is some slight legal issues involved with the emulators too, aparanentlly only registered game developer companys should have them..

i read this somewhere, but im really not 100% certain about it either, dont care either lol, i allways use emu on mobiles, beats the hell out of carrying around a snes or megadrive in your pocket
