Anti-emulation Nintendo was caught repacking a pirated ROM. https://www.eurogamer.net/did-nintendo-download-a-mario-rom-...
They were only "caught" using the .NES header which is a public standard that many NES emulators implement. There is no evidence that they used a pirated ROM.

#73Maybe with the source code, I'd be able to figure out what the hell happened in the last ~2 hours of the game.
Not much, just accurately predicted the next 30 years exactly
I wonder how they must have felt to have coded a 9/11 scenario of Arsenal Gear crashing into the Twin Towers, and then watched it actually happen a few months later.
This was cut from the game but is still in the source code leak, just commented out! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNSPx-oRV60
Also note that the source code was leaked on April 30th :p

Copyrights were only intended to be secure for a _limited_ time. Originally 20 years. Konami has been granted at least 2 decades of FBI backed security of their property. I'd say they got a plenty good deal and have nothing to complain about here.
This is a Japanese game and Japan originally had 30 years of copyright. You also can't ignore that the amount of time was extended before the game came out.

Crowdsourcing the preservation means the one UND ONLY ONE copy can't be destroyed by fire, flood, disk failure, ransomware, whatever else.
There is not only one copy. There are many copies under Konami's control. It is also fully up to Konami if they want it to eventually become public or if they just want to delete it and have it never revealed. That is the decision that they themselves have the power to make and leaks like this is stripping them of their creative rights over distribution.

because intellectual property laws are inherently worthy of respect and they are never used against consumers ever
No consumer is entitled to play a game. They are free to go find another game to play and there are millions of other games out there that they could legally access and play.

Fuck yeah, that's exactly why this leak is a great thing. It should belong to everybody. “Konami” as an entity is not even comprised of the same people that worked there when MGS2 was created. Stop personifying corporations as singular entities.

Everyone focuses on that part, but what the hell was with the girl that could repel bullets but it turns out that it was magnets but actually maybe she does have powers? And what about the weird thing where you start sword fighting your father/president/clone? Yeah I know, sure, fake information on the internet. It's so prescient I guess, but the actual story is incomprehensible.
> but the actual story is incomprehensible.
You're almost there. Double the convolutions in your post and you'll finally understand Kojima.
And yes, that chick really does have to be topless, its not sexism. See, she breathes through her skin. Thats why she's such a good sniper

There’s still no proof they pirated the ROM
