Is EA(I assume they're the current IP holder of the game) losing sales from this in order for the violation to be noteworthy?

I assume there's not a huge untapped customer base for this particular game that were rushing out to buy it but stopped because it's also available online for free.

Nevertheless, i expect just like Nintendo, their lawyers will send a C&D just to defend the IP and trademarks on the basis of "use it or lose it".

There doesn't always have to be a monetary loss to win a copyright suit, perhaps unlike with a breach of contract ruling.

Copyright licenses are designed to support the right to exclude; money damages alone do not support or enforce that right.

A similar notion has been common even among cases involving open source licenses, where developers were able to claim non-monetary damages from violations.

From Jacobsen v. Katzer:

> Traditionally, copyright owners sold their copyrighted material in exchange for money. The lack of money changing hands in open source licensing should not be presumed to mean that there is no economic consideration, however. There are substantial benefits, including economic benefits, to the creation and distribution of copyrighted works under public licenses that range far beyond traditional license royalties. For example, program creators may generate market share for their programs by providing certain components free of charge.

this is such an unhelpful and unproductive comment.

This is a great port, and seeing the game and graphics brings back memories. Thank you for doing the port.

Who needs GitHub anyway?

Apparently, a lot of people on HN. Including me.

Invent the wheel.

Have you ever tried to pull or push a wheeled cart up a large hill? Wheels are not super useful on steep terrain or unbroken ground and are often a liability without a bullet proof brake to stop it from trying to roll away when you stop. If the land isn't super rough or steep then wheels are great, but when it is you are going to have to work twice as hard.

And be stuck only ever going where someone else has invented the road for you.

Big same. Now need big wheel.

Good luck using a wheel in uneven terrain. Why would you even leave a comment like this?

It works wonders downhill tbh

Yes

I am sure Al-Qaeda will be thrilled about this.

Well you wouldn't want a thirsty terrorist, would you?

No. Nei.

As a European citizen, AWS is forever American.

Damn, then Rust is safe from AI :D

No one understands it either.

Does anyone understand anything?

Never met this ‘anyone’ person or seen any of this ‘anything’ stuff.

I've seen songs on spottily called "anything" and "Just play anything", so I guess it may be worthwhile if I change my name to "anyone" for when someone asks their LLM to "just hire anyone"

Appreciated.

Total BS. Cobol is well documented and actively developed. I bet you didn't even TRY to write single program for it... Stop spreading FUD

Sarcasm is difficult to grasp on the internet, but some people apparently have more visceral reactions to their misunderstanding than others.

EU funds, please tell me more.

20 or so yrs ago I read a 300 page "EU Start-up Grants Guide" - small print legalese or Kant is children prose in comparison. I managed to reduce to 5 criteria to get 100 points needed to qualify:

20 pts - parrot EU buzzwords profusely without any context or logic

20 pts - spend a tone of money for certificates issued by EU approved firms

20 pts - prove your firm is already rich and wants the grant only to get richer

20 pts - sign yourself in for insane bureaucratic oversight and 30% of revenue kick-back to EU selected services (all your suppliers need to be 'preaproved')

20 pts - !!! THIS !!! prove that you already participated in previous projects

So basically it was 300 pages of gibberish summarized as "you are neither sufficiently 'well connected' or obedient to get grants"
