It's not like they aren't making money off of their games

Japan has some pretty convoluted IP laws, if Nintendo doesn't aggressively pursue ANY whiff of IP infringement, they might lose their exclusive rights. From what I hear this mainly has to do with bios and copy protection technology.

So hypothetically, if it can be proven that Nintendo is aware of an infringer and does nothing, then they might lose their protections.

Interesting, it's like they're back to the samurai Honor system lol

I think it is more likely that both policies arose from a fundamental aspect of Japanese culture that has persisted through the ages, flowers from the same tree, so to speak.
