Actually because Nintendo is a Japanese company it means Japanese law applies to their work in America and America will facilitate the laws execution as if it was it’s own because we are in this treaty.
It’s why Nintendo gets away with all of its bullshit already. Because they are following Japanese copyright law which is significantly more heavy than American.
