I really hope the legal action here continues to court and Sega getting exposed in the legal proceedings.

sega being nintendo's lackey and having to recover the missing dev kits they lost is pretty funny, sounds like a movie plot for some dumb 90's comedy.

mega condolences for that guy since he lives in the uk and now he has to take it up the ass for doing nothing wrong.

I hate the Chinese but Japanese are just Chinese +
Chinks would absolutely do all this.

you can't legally purchase stolen goods
they belong to sega and some retard employee disposing of them when he wasn't supposed to doesn't change that

>>720205183
if that were the case they wouldn't have had to make the guy sign anything to relinquish the consoles

>>720205183
you implicitly relinquish ownership of the thing if you purposely dump it.

Oh men! Don't you love the legal system!

from the article it sounds like the guy is just hoping if he's loud enough Sega will give him money to shut up

>>720204449
Sega is literally in the search warrant as the requester for this case, retardissimo.

>>720205457
I live in a country where going to a garbage container and taking things there is illegal but you can go to the dump and buy crap there.
If it's like that in the UK, this is just yet another example of their volatile legislation for the sake of fucking people not doing illegal things.

greedy reseller got fucked. retard should have dumped it instead of selling it

Looks like it; that news website was covering that story for a while from the tweets of the buyer who wanted to acquire all those carts to do the dumping himself
Sucks because there also were a bunch of really rare DS prototypes in there, like the one for Rhythm Thief

What a solid case of TDS we got here (and protip: the 'T' doesn't refer to the orang mean)

>>720208456
it actually might be. the western european middle class owes its existence to peasants simply taking a walk and leaving to work elsewhere if their conditions were too shit, especially after the black death when labor was in high demand. it's also why russia is still an extractive economy like it was in medieval times, the plague never got there so the peasants were never able to gain leverage over their rulers. similarly i can imagine the upper echelons of society getting a bit arrogant when the peasants have nowhere left to go

>>720205349

Just because it was thrown in the trash doesn't mean it wasn't stolen. It was not Sega's property to throw away.
People have been brought up on criminal charges for taking old computers out of the trash and "stealing" the files people stupidly leave on their hard drives.

>>720205183
once it's in the trash, sega has released all their rights to it. One man's trash is another's treasure.

Nice, very nice. I'm gonna blame Kalinske.

>>720209354
it's hard for me to accept that there is no accountability for anyone here except a guy who legally bought something that was voluntarily discarded. as far as i can tell, he didn't fish it out of sega's dumpster, he bought it from a dump where sega knew stuff could be bought from

>>720209354
Nintendo couldn't even be bothered to enforce contracts and collect discontinued hardware.
So what's the statue of limitations on that?
The guy has more rights than Nintendo to ownership (in theory).

>>720209354
>Just because it was thrown in the trash doesn't mean it wasn't stolen.

Just because you picked up trash, doesn't mean you stole it.

> It was not Sega's property to throw away.
It was entrusted to Sega to handle properly. If they throw it into the trash, it's their fault and they should be held liable, not the man who picked up the trash. He should not have been thrown in jail and charged with anything. Not to mention they never had a warrent to take anything from him.

Sega and the police handled this illegally. A good lawyer can set this shit right. And it won't be a hard case either.

in the UK you lose all rights once you send it to the dump
theres a well documented case where some retard dumped his hard drive full of bitcoin, and the court won't let him get it back from the dump

>>720204449
this

Big name Japanise companies are barely more moral than Yakuza.
Only difference is that the products they pride or sell are legal but the actual way those companies do businesses and tactics they use is basically Yakuza tactics.

Fun fact the kind of copyright Nintendo has where they borderline patented 3d camera and a character looking at things in a game or even just flying mounts is not somting they want or care to enforce bur rather its ammo to use against competitors they don't like.
Its why the Digimon game can have mounts but Pall-world had to rework its system. Nintendo does not like Pocket pair the developers of pall-world so they bully them using their patents but at the same time Nintendo is in good standing whit BandNamco so they don't bother them about those sort of things.
If you want an example of flexing patents.
Capcom sued TecmoKoei over importing and unlocking content from an older title in a new game by using a save. Whether this was done as a sort of flex or if someone at TecmoKoei pissed of a capcom exec or if it was just a coverup for laundering money is unknown.

Yeah, Nintendo promoted Sega to do something about this. Sega contacted the British Police do obtain it all.

Funny how the police will send a swat team to raid some nintendie's house to recover a 3ds but will do nothing when niggers murder people in the streets.

Why does reality always have to be all the worst parts of fiction at once?

Dev kits... prototyping cartridges... You just know the Nintendo Ninja's showed up at Sega of Europe's offices for this. £10K for a bunch of Nintendo dev kit hardware is a steal.

>>720212263

I mean damn. It is Nintendo's property, after all. Not Sega's.

Sega is dogshit company. Peter Moore told them to fuck off and left for Microsoft just because of how badly managed the Japanese branch were.

>>720211005
>but will do nothing when niggers murder people in the streets.
Should have been millionaires/billionaires if they wanted the police to protect them.

>UK

literally China tier shithole

The UK is a police state where the police works for the government, corporations and themselves exclusively, against the people. It does not exist to serve and protect the populace, it's basically the opposite at this point. ACAB is reality in the UK. In America cops are dealing with violent armed nigs on a daily basis so they're all trigger happy and ready to throw down with them. In the UK the cops find paki gangs raping white children, take part in raping the children and arrest the child's white father for racism and being mean on twitter while purposefully letting thousands of kids get raped. Then the government who enables this behavior in every iteration makes more anti-freedom of speech laws for the police to enforce in order to "protect the children" that they just got done raping.

At least in the US, that sticker wouldnt actually mean anything except for use in identification. Trash is almost universally considered abandoned, and not lost, property. You are within your legal rights to claim abandoned, but again not lost, property.
UK might be different. Probably is.

This seems almost unreal, a state police ignoring due process in favor of a foreign corporation and yet I know that today this is far from the worst that occurs daily
Still there must be more to this story than what the guys says

I don't know, it seems like Nintendo's contract would state that if these dev kits were no long in use by Sega of Europe, then they would have to be returned back to Nintendo. Sega of Europe could have claimed that they needed them to gain access to their older prototypes, but instead they were dumped in the trash. The 'dump' sold them off to a 'games preservationist', which goes against the 'resale prohibited' sticker on these dev kits. It could be classified as theft by Nintendo.

The person buying shouldn't be liable, the seller should be the one liable imo. Imagine you go to a pawn shop and you buy unknowingly stolen goods and then the cops come to your house and throw you in jail

>>720214348
The purchaser remains bona fide in this case do they not? Unless they were explicitly warned they were being sold counterfeit goods
