Final Update re: Clearing up some confusion

Notes:

Hi, I helped Vimm with this, and I'm seeing some people still refer to this as the work of a copyright troll.

This wasn't the work of a copyright troll. If you read the post, you'll see that Nintendo contracted some of their copyright work to OpSec Security, who used Visual AI to detect infringement and issue takedowns. That makes these claims legitimate, but if you read the quote from the claims, they only wanted the images removed – that's why Vimm was able to put the games back up. I have a strong suspicion that these claims were never even reviewed by a human, but that doesn't make them any less legitimate.

I've said it many times, and I'll say it again: Copyright law and AI will be the downfalls of humanity.

So, TL;DR: The claims were legitimate, but they were made by AI and only wanted images removed. I hope this clears some things up!
