:::::::With that said, how should the article present the legality of ROM hacking as we currently understand it in this conversation? Not having any information is worse than it being there. Would it be better to say something along the lines of <code>it is unknown if this practice is legal or not</code>? --[[User:Wildgoosespeeder|Wildgoosespeeder]] ([[User talk:Wildgoosespeeder|talk]]) 07:37, 22 December 2016 (UTC) | :::::::With that said, how should the article present the legality of ROM hacking as we currently understand it in this conversation?

::::::::I'd recommend to not put as much emphasis on the legality, and put more emphasis on the fact that Nintendo has taken action against it in the past. The fact that you might just, if you spend thousands (tens of) defending yourself, actually get a win is really not all that important.--[[User:Evil Figment|Evil Figment]] ([[User talk:Evil Figment|talk]]) 07:41, 22 December 2016 (UTC) | ::::::::I'd recommend to not put as much emphasis on the legality, and put more emphasis on the fact that Nintendo has taken action against it in the past.

:::::::::OK. That might be the best compromise to get word out about the legality of it, not explicitly, but at least implied that the legality is disputed amongst IP owners and fans of the IPs alike. Where would you recommend putting it in the article? --[[User:Wildgoosespeeder|Wildgoosespeeder]] ([[User talk:Wildgoosespeeder|talk]]) 07:51, 22 December 2016 (UTC) | |||
