Comment on YouTuber Faces Possible Jail Time for Reviewing Gaming Handhelds

  Exactly. Copyright infringement? He was reviewing handheld that came with ROMs which is the copyright infringement apparently?

  I agree the title is fine because the whole reason why he was arrested because he was reviewing the handheld that had the games on them. That is making an argument out of nothing

    the whole reason why he was arrested because he was reviewing the handheld that had the games on them.

    I’d love to see you point to an Italian law that states that reviewing handhelds on YouTube is illegal.

      Epstein arrested because he flew on planes

      People will seriously argue such title was fine.

      I understand your concern, potential employer, but I was never arrested for Chicago Sunroofing the Popemobile. There aren’t even any laws that say it’s illegal.

  It’s not pedantic. The title explains absolutely nothing. Reviewing hardware on YouTube is not a crime in any country to my knowledge, so how could he be arrested for it?

    Is he reviewing the device, or is he reviewing the pirated games?

    Dumbfuck.

      I don’t understand the question. Which one of those is illegal?

        I don’t understand

        Yeah that part was abundantly clear.

    I agree, the comment is literally false, just to get more engagement.

    And this isn’t a comment abut the arrest (megacorps are always scumbags), just how “journalism” works nowdays.
