Nintendo Upset Over Nokia Game Emulation Video 189

Posted by Soulskill on Tuesday December 01, 2009 @02:45AM from the super-mario-takedown dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Nintendo is investigating potential copyright infringement by Nokia during some video demos of their N900 phone, which can be seen emulating Nintendo games. Nintendo spokesman Robert Saunders says: 'We take rigorous steps to protect our IP and our legal team will examine this to determine if any infringement has taken place.' In the video, Nokia says, 'Most publishers allow individual title usage, provided that the user is in possession of the original title.'"

I think you are completely missing the point. It's not about being able to sell or not, it's about how much you sell.

while I do agree with your reasoning, it is a little bit more complex due to the fact that by increasing the multiplayer population, the perceived "value" of the goods increases, therefore generating an increase in demand. I do not think this increase in demand can offset the decrease caused by the "free substitute" though, but there's no easy way to find out (I would guess statistical analysis would be the "easy" way, and testing the product on different and unconnected [but at the same time similar in every related aspect] markets the definitive way)
