> You all know the playbook when it comes to shady copyright shakedown outfits that work with or for pornography companies. Groups like Malibu Media and others built an infamous reputation for using the legal system to extract IP address-based information on customers whom they then claim downloaded porn illegally, they then mail settlement offers to those people, sometimes including hints at how embarrassing a trial would be for them, and then they collect settlement fees from those scared people, guilty or not. And if this all sounds like a form of extortion to you, well, welcome to the club.

> So by now, assuming you’ve spent any decent amount of time reading Techdirt, you likely know that Nintendo has a reputation for being aggressive and litigious when it comes to intellectual property enforcement. Someone makes a game that is inspired by Pokémon, but does not directly copy it? Lawsuit. Mods for that same game make use of Nintendo IP? Shut them down. YouTuber reports on a Nintendo game that was pitched but never got made? DMCA that shit. Find out your hot new Switch game got leaked early? Well, obviously you go to war with every kind of Switch emulation out there.
