Internet Archive is in DANGER! A Gaming Preservation Potential Nightmare
411SUPPORT THE CHANNEL : / videogameesoterica
Nintendo has sued every Switch emulation maker they can get their hands on (Yuzu emulator is gone, Suyu emulator is dead, Sudachi DMCA is a mess) and DMCA's Vimm's Lair and a ton of other sites...but what is their end goal? It all leads to Switch 2 and the Switch 2 hardware and Switch 2 rumors...I think?
But now The Internet Archive is in danger based upon losing an appeal vs Hatchett Books and has a pending lawsuit with Sony that could total damages of near to 450 million dollars...and if you know anything about retro gaming preservation and video game preservation...you know The Internet Archive is a huge asset to us all!
This is a follow up video to last months video: Did Nintendo DMCA attack Vimm's Lair? Or were DMCA trolls involved? Lets find out! Because it turns out it WAS Nintendo and their partners that send the metric ton of takedowns to Vimm's Lair and Nintendo's emulation fight continues on...most likely due to iPhone emulation and retro game emulators on iPhone now being a thing! Plus Nintendo sent MORE DMCA takedowns to the Super Smash Bros modding community...and now the ESA and Sega are joining in too? WOW (or the Sega thing is trolling?)
Questions? Comments? Just leave them below and I will do my best to answer each and every one of them!
