Nintendo Launching a New Round of DMCA Complaints (Inadvertently Helping Microsoft as Well)

Too Long; Didn't Read

Nintendo has launched a new wave of DMCA complaints at Google in an effort to make piracy-enabling devices harder to find. The gaming giant is making strategic use of DMCA anti-circumvention notices, to permanently delete listings from search results. Nintendo also appears to be helping Microsoft as well, perhaps inadvertently. Team-Xecutor is perhaps the company’s arch-nemesis with its development of hardware and software solutions to skirt Nintendos technical protection measures, such as those available for the Switch platform. Nintendo is among the most aggressive when it comes to protecting its intellectual property rights.
