They do infringe the law. Copyright is a Federal Issue however: which means you need a Federal Bar attorney to pursue it. The cost is 250k -1 million dollars just to run the case through the system with a good firm. And what would the recovery be?
I know for a fact that annotations are controlled under copyright law because I studied it during law school. That includes: taking a transparency: drawing additions to micky mouse: selling that transparency. That is a non-seperable derivative work: it relies on the underlying original work for any meaning. It is controlable by the copyright owner.
You will now tell me:
1) I'm lying
2) I'm a crap lawyer
3) I'm wrong.
SEGA doesn't take things down because SEGA announced that they like fan games and are glad people are keeping the characters alive. They activly hire from the Rom Hacking scene.
Your argument is similar to this argument:
>Hey, a palm Tree has attested that Jesus is God.
>So that must mean Jesus is God right
Answer: >A palm tree can say whatever it wants; doesn't mean it's true
---A 5000 page volume
"They would have been sued in a federal court which would cost the company suing them 250k-1million dollars: and recover nothing"
"Therefore annotations are Not infringing!!!"

>>12895931 Bullshit argument. (also ROMs are all over the net so another strike against said argument: obviously none of the copyright owners really care: the most they do is send a DMCA request if they're nintendo; which costs nothing. SEGA, the real prize (because of Sonic): doesn't do anything.)
It's copyright infringement either way.
And as Richard Matthew Stallman said: Free the Software. (and he used to say that proprietary software should be illegal: and that the GPL was just a hack of copyright law: he was against copyright law on programs to begin with).

>>12895905 We could all start by re-freeing the software, in the spirit of Richard Matthew Stallman's original ideas from the 1970s/1980s (when he really did want proprietary software to be nonexistant: illegal) (Back then Free Software didn't pre-suppose Copyright: whereas Opensource does):
This is an AI produced outline of how to disassemble Neto's Sonic1,2,3&K all-in-one which uses the SuperStreetFighterII memory mapper. (512k chunks after the first 32mbit)
https://github.com/sonfan76/PossiblyDisassembleSonDeltaOrigins40Mb/tree/main https://github.com/sonfan76/PossiblyDisassembleSonDeltaOrigins40Mb/blob/main/memmaapper2.txt Neto, however said it is impossible because he uses tricks to make it so:
>Esrael Neto >— >9:13 PM If SEGA is not against the hack, who is you? Good luck with disassembling Sonic Delta Origins. The resulting code will easily have incorrect pointers due to how I handle the mapper.
He benifited from the open disassemblies along with all the Disassembly and Reverse engineering Team that together produced them. Now he's added another good thing: the Memory mapper: but won't help the community. Why?
How is it that they feel that they can all take from SEGA, SonicTeam, etc; but if anyone takes from them: it's code stealing?
If Sonic Rom Hacking simply continued to follow the OpenSource or really Free Software route it was going down years ago: you'd have more whole new 16-bit sonic games. As level designers and artists could more easily work: having access to all the art in the 16-bit canon due to the memory mapper work.
But no: they stopped that and just consider their changes /theirs/: while your changes are /"ours"/.

>>12895823 You a lawyer?
No.
I specifically mentioned that:
1) These projects told the programmer that "only the code matters" and "freedom of speech"
That was the promise they gave to the programmer.
2) The programmer then did what the projects wanted: produced code
For decades.
That is performance by the programmer.
And a promise for performance. A contract.
Then the projects reneged on their initial utterances and banned the programmer from development for protected speech the programmer made on some other platform (and some years before the banning time).
That is breach of contract or fraud in the inducement.
The programmer then killed himself after entering a downwards spiral right after. (the bannings were ment to punish him for his speech: and deny him effective access to what was till then his life's work: ever since he was a kid in highschool and then college and on and on)
Wrongful death civil lawsuit.
You can say all you want about "THEY CAN DO WHATEVER THEY WANT, RIGHTS ONLY COUNTER THE GOVERNMENT".
Does not mean a case can't be brought.
Does not mean you are right.
Does not mean that the actions and breach by the Project wasn't a but-for cause of the programmers death.
(though they'll argue supervening intervening acts block the legal chain of causation)
Does not mean Mircea Kitsune wasn't libeled, put in a false light,
(both Torts)
and cast away by the Project that induced him to work for them for multiple decades:
giving him nothing other than the promise of honour, respect, "only the code matters", and freedom of speech.
Note: there have been _criminal_ cases in the states more recently where someone talked someone into suicide: they did it: and the talker was found criminally liable.
Civil cases need only a preponderance of the evidence.
Again: Are you a lawyer?
