Pirate All NES and SNES Games.
I've pirated a lot of files in my day. Music, movies, games, operating systems, what have you. I think I got the most value out of my NES and SNES roms. I've had these things for over a decade and they still hold up.
Nintendo is greedy AF. They purposefully create artificial scarcity to boost the value of their products. Last Christmas they re-released SNES Mini and the year before that the NES mini. Now, they could have given us all their games and created plenty of consoles for everyone, but instead they greatly limited both. It's for reasons like this that even white-hat hackers will say "no" and do some quasi-illegal stuff to bring these classics to the masses, free of charge.
First, you need an emulator. I use Nestopia for NES and ZSNES for SNES.
As you may or may not know, using a program may be illegal, but creating it is not. These emulators are totally legal. You aren't breaching copyright law until you download the roms, which are the game files.

Downloading these is what infringes copyright, but if you think Nintendo will come after you for it just remember that money rules the world. It's only worth going after the centralized entity that is distributing the copyrighted material. In this case, it's thepiratebay.org. As we all know, try as they might, the establishment has not been able to stop torrents, so there is really nothing to worry about. Long live peer to peer decentralization!
At one point (ten years ago) I was getting strikes on my account all the time from my internet service provider. I remember the first one was from an HBO TV show called Rome that my roommate had downloaded. They had a three-strikes-and-you're-out rule. Guess how many strikes I got? Five. I later found out that a strike gets deleted after 6 months, but I wonder if they were ever going to terminate my account. After all, they would lose money.
When it really comes down to it ISPs don't care at all if you use their service to break the law. All they care about is money. When intellectual property owners come crying to the ISPs, the ISPs will shine them on and make it look like they are doing something about it when they actually aren't. It's not their problem. Capitalism at its finest.

I would go one step further to say that intellectual property and patent laws are a thing of the past. The blockchain will support artists and they will give their content away for free.

IP law does the exact opposite thing that it's supposed to accomplish: Promote innovation. You can't promote innovation when you ban the rest of the world from developing your product.
The best innovation comes from people who love what they do and actually give a shit.

Calling someone a commie as an insult is a tool move motivated by brainwashing propaganda dating back to the Red Scare.

i love this Game
Can't you buy old NES games on their game system for like $5 a pop?

$200 for a Nintendo.
There are several rare games that cost hundreds as well. The value of these classics is created by artificial scarcity and patent law.
You can just play any of 800 NES games on an emulator for free. Even 800 x $5 is $4000. This is dead tech it should be free.
Then you have to buy a 2-pack of chord extenders for the controllers! That's crazy. They do need to quit acting like Disney and make their stuff way easier to buy.
good post greetings
Awesome!
Good one anyway, but piracy kills sometimes
