he got arrested for advertising chinkhelds with preloaded games

Italy's judicial system still has a lot of remnants of the mafia era, where they had to use some crazy and unforgiving laws to lock them up. Sooner or later someone was going to abuse them for their advantage.

>>715975073 (OP)
meanwhile 30 boats slipped onto the shores of italy lol

>>715975463
It's supposedly an arrest based on piracy laws from 1941. Specifically laws against promotion of piracy.

>>715975636
oh for spaghettis sake

>>715975658
Yeah they put scientists who predicted an eatthquake in jail too. We’re the blackest of all the white races lol even more than gypsies.

What do you think the EU is buddy? Europe went too left and became the thing it has been trying to avoid since WWII.

i'm italian and never heard of him and don't care for him
also anyone shilling shitty retro handhelds deserves it

>>715975910
Lol why did they do that?

>>715975598
Italy isn't a real country and nobody cares what happens there

traitors getting their due

I'm just gonna go ahead and say it.
Uhh... "Mamma Mia!"
There. I said it.

wasn't it due to them having preloaded roms on the hardware?

Basically scientists thought the potential earthquake coming in wasn't going to actually happen, predicted that, got it wrong, a bunch of people got killed, and the government brought them up on charges and sent them to prison. Because predicting earthquakes is so easy and precise, after all. Italians are a disgrace.

Italy has the strictest copyright laws in europe and they have to pay a tax which goes into funding italian media. So they have police locking anyone down who pirates italian media and it can apply to foreign media if someone reports it like they did with this dude.

Good riddance. Trannies keep spamming these emulator threads as if anyone cares.

I see no problem with this.
Some guy playing an illegitimate copy of a 30+ years old videogame is the most dangerous kind of threat towards public safety there is.
Just ask yourself, would you rather be in a forest with a retro-gamer or a bear?

>European legal system
Pretty based and Euros unironically love it too.

Right now you can buy these chink consoles loaded with roms but I predict in 5 years you won’t be able to buy them at all here. Nor will you easily be able to find roms.

>>715975073 (OP)
He was reviewing consoles that came with Switch games. Even though the hardware can’t play demanding games, it can emulate and play less demanding Switch games. Because Switch games are commercially available, this is promoting piracy and illegal. He is the first domino to fall, expect to see more like this

>Commit a crime
>Go to jail
How could this have happened?

>>715977051
why do you feel the need to correct historical illiterates? Just call them retards and move on.

>Umm I need piracy to play MY (lol) backups
>Also the glorious EU will save me (double lol)

Did you even read the article before you started foaming from your mouth about Nintendo?
>The complaint Salicini received from Guardia di Finanza cites him violating Article 171ter of Italian Copyright Law. That same complaint also lists Sony and Nintendo, but it’s possible that Italy’s Ministry of Economy and Finance was responsible for bringing forward the charges against the YouTuber.

>>715982373
Even if he had just filmed himself engaging with pirated content it would have been fine. Issue is that retard advertised and posted referral links to those handhelds while making the roms they contain a major selling point.

>>715975073 (OP)
I refuse to trigger on news about happenings I don't know anything about.

>>715975463
Its real. Some youtuber was reviewing chinkhelds and mentioned that they came with games pre-installed. The government said that this was advocating and aiding piracy and raided his house. He's in jail and could be facing 3 years in prison or a 20,000 euro fine.

>>715975598
He wasn't even pirating them though. He bought a chinkheld that came with games on it, so the Italian feds raided his house.

Tick tock haters. Emulate getting rekt.

>>715983635
Do I even to say my thoughts about it? Consider what is currently happening in Italy and Europe and how those who are doing it are punished

>>715984326
>youtubers gonna youtube
I still hope he gets a slap on the wrist, he's not designing, manufacturing, importing and selling consoles with pirated games. He's just some faggot talking about chinkhelds grinding the youtube game but being treated as he's peddling cp.
