This practice places the community in direct conflict with Nintendo, a company famously protective of its intellectual property. Nintendo has historically taken an aggressive stance against the distribution of ROMs, NSPs, and the development of emulation software. From a corporate perspective, the unauthorized distribution of game updates and base files undermines their revenue streams and devalues the labor of the developers who maintain the game. Legal actions against ROM-hosting websites and emulator developers have become frequent, creating a continuous game of cat-and-mouse between corporate legal teams and internet archivists.
