"A television channel in Argentina is showing the full cut of The Super Mario Bros. Movie (2023) even though the film is still near the beginning of its theatrical run."

I cry about SonyGaf from my chair in Redmond, WA
If Nintendo cease to operate in Argentina they will just boom piracy there.

Hard to enforce anything since I don't even know if Nintendo operates in Argentina with the way their economy is all kinds of fucked up. They can try a legal case but good luck with that if the Argentina authorities don't bother to cooperate.

its argentina, their economy is already fucked, theres nothing more financially you could do to hurt them any more.... reminds me of the time when sony discovered 90% of playstation's in africa where modded and pirated discs where sold openly everywhere... and sony simply did nothing but applaud that atleast african children got to play their games.

Given the current economy situation, it looks like Argentina will be renamed United States of South Nintendo after the lawsuit.

Protecting companies is going a bit far sometimes- due to them having the means to lobby their wishes into laws, but if this is the norm there that's embarassing and every artist, engineer, researcher etc. should avoid Argentine because copyright law is not only protecting the big companies but also the Jo Schmo inventor. Pro piracy dumbasses will appplaud it, but if this is usual it's hurting them in the long run. Why would anyone invest anything in a lawless state beyond basic needs?

The Argentinian Government doesnt give a fuck about Nintendo copyright policy, the only thing they can do is seethe.

But the memes sure are funny

Sony also sued LikSang into oblivion for selling those modchips then made the killing blow when LikSang was selling Asian PSP to western markets so its not as altruistic as you make it out to be.

They deserve a whole batallion of Nintendo Ninja's for laughing "jajajajaja" instead of the standard "ha". I don't care how it said out loud, write it with an H.

I wanted to be smug and add the rusian "xaxaxaxa" but no intervention is needed, they are already working down their own numbers quite well.

Nintendo won't do shit, that's what you get on a socialist godstate, basically a state of chaos all over the place where nothing makes sense for 1st world living people.

In Venezuela happened the same with some other movie not that long ago, seems to become a pattern from now on.

Edit: Actually, not even 3rd world countries neighbors can make sense of these situations

I think you aretalking about a couple specific countries.

But going after piracy worldwide is indeed pointless. I doubt Nintendo is going to have the government crackdown on people who watched the movie. I doubt it's impacting their bottom line either, they are making big bank on the Mario Movie right now despite reviews, and still the cash is coming in so they aren't losing anything really.

There's still a group that want physical home video but as DVD sales decline Cinema is going to soon be the only place to make real money. Bluray doesn't have the volume and there's no other home video format to make money from, and digital purchases have a shelf life as these services start offering subs that let you watch many new releases without extra charge with just one sub. The amount of people buying movies full price digitally, or buying anything on cable companies on demand service is in a ditch.

You basically have Cinema and a dying Home Video market to make money off of movies and TV entertainment. NFL and NBA with their fractured services with different partnerships will eventually unify and that's going to sent more media companies toward bankruptcy.

We are seeing all these Netflix clones going down and consolidating. There's not enough money coming in for so many people to have a piece of the pie. I'm surprised we went almost a decade with like 50 streaming services before most of the fell off. All were operating on losses and not making a single dime to their name.

I remember way back the first few years of DVD guys at the Metro station, including the drivers, would be selling bootleg movies or TV seasons on burned DVD-R's. Some even had movies on CD-R. Can't really do that now since internet is going to give you convenience and better quality than a camera with glare over the video.

Many computers these days removing the disc drives is only causing quicker death.

There was a time when bootleg VCR, CD, DVD were a thing but even a bad rip online is going to have better quality than those. To be perfectly honest kids these days have it good in poor communities or developing countries compared to the past.
