Some countries want to sell the image of “China is the absolute evil”, thus from this logic everything “good” must equal something very evil.

Talking about testicle…
The word avocado comes from the Spanish aguacate, which derives from the Nahuatl (Mexican) word āhuacatl [aːˈwakat͡ɬ],[40] which goes back to the proto-Aztecan *pa:wa.[41] In Molina’s Nahuatl dictionary “auacatl” is given also as the translation for compañón “testicle”,[42] and this has been taken up in popular culture where a frequent claim is that testicle was the word’s original meaning. This is not the case, as the original meaning can be reconstructed as “avocado” – rather the word seems to have been used in Nahuatl as a euphemism for “testicle”.[43][44][45]

Making games available to people that cannot pay is still a win for Nintendo… Nintendo gets money from selling consoles, games (sold in the traditional market) and cultural influence. We just had the movie “Mario Brothers” and it was a hit. The movie sells toys thus bringing more revenue to the company.
In the end, the DMCA strikes cost Nintendo’s money with little return.

Nop, it just smells like you are wrong.
As Whitman shows, the Nuremberg Laws were crafted in an atmosphere of considerable attention to the precedents American race laws had to offer. German praise for American practices, already found in Hitler’s Mein Kampf, was continuous throughout the early 1930s, and the most radical Nazi lawyers were eager advocates of the use of American models. But while Jim Crow segregation was one aspect of American law that appealed to Nazi radicals, it was not the most consequential one. Rather, both American citizenship and antimiscegenation laws proved directly relevant to the two principal Nuremberg Laws—the Citizenship Law and the Blood Law. Whitman looks at the ultimate, ugly irony that when Nazis rejected American practices, it was sometimes not because they found them too enlightened, but too harsh.
