I meant that in legal sense they pirate stuff. Copyright laws being goofy is another thing entirely but Nintendo works in a legal framework where not defending your trademarks means you can lose them.
Nintendo couldn’t pirate their own stuff because they own it. They downloaded ROMs because they can’t be arsed to dump them themselves, similar to 99% of population. Kind of hypocritical with all the DRM related laws that they support but at least they recognise they’re unenforceable.
Ok, then Nintendo benefitted financially from piracy and made no efforts to hide the fact that they obtained games through the exact same methods that pirates use.

Do you mean pirating games that are still for sale? Because plenty of emulator users only pirate old stuff that isn’t currently for sale.

It’s probably almost nearly 100% of emulator users who pirate games.
Even Nintendo pirated their own games before releasing them on the Wii’s Virtual Console.

Piracy of what?
Booty and gold, of course
What did they pirate specifically and why nobody is suing them for it? Please go ahead.
