    I just don’t believe in copyright, IP patents or having fences on human culture.

    So even if they straight up put Pikachu in their game I think they have the moral right to do so. If they can make a good game with Pikachu in it, who is Nintendo to private humanity from that piece of culture?

    My statement is about morality. What’s legal or not is another matter.

      I mean…artists should be paid for their work right? Fuck Nintendo, but that same logic could be applied to anyone. I’d be pissed if someone just straight up lifted my designs and resold it.

        I does not conflict with people being paid for doing something. If I’m a carpenter and I’m hired and paid to make a bench. No one is stealing me if, once the bench is done, I don’t have a said in who sits on that bench. Or if I don’t get paid every time a person sits on that bench.

        Like any other job you should be paid for doing work. Not for owning a property.

        Absolutely. I don’t get how someone can say stealing the work of others is morally correct.
