From a PR perspective, if Nintendo did nothing, they are siding with this type of use and with those who used it in such a fashion. This may be good or bad, depending on how Nintendo actually sides. If they did something about it, they may he making enemies with the court systems, but they may be making friends with them, depending on how the court system sides.
Basically, they have precedence to sue, but whether or not they do, and what the outcome would be, is anybody’s guess. But if this goes live, I would appreciate a heads up, because popcorn takes a few minutes to prepare.
