Nintendo announces stricter Social Media regulations: do not allow data mining, crack down on leaks and simulators

Thanks to CTOnews.com netizen Alejandro86 for the clue delivery! CTOnews.com, Oct. 26 (Xinhua)-- Nintendo has released a new version of its content Guide (Nintendo Game Content Guidelines), which shows that Nintendo's legal department is working to crack down on online content that it believes infringes the company's copyright.

Nintendo specifically explained that the conditions for defining infringement are as follows:

Content includes unauthorized game consoles and / or software that is not licensed by Nintendo

The content contains videos, images, audio sources, etc. that cannot be obtained in regular games, as well as content extracted by data mining game software or other methods.

▲ source Nintendo learned that with the new content guide, Nintendo can order the deletion of game videos or content running using the simulator under the Millennium copyright Law (DMCA).
