      and also we have a generic term for GitHub like things, they are called forges, in this case (GitHub) it is a forge for git (the underlying SVC powering it) only

      I am not so sure this situation would be much better on other services. Nintendo could steamroll smaller companies.

        You can host it on servers outside of their jurisdiction or with laws that better protect or prevent companies abuse. Anyone can host git is the point, you dont have to use GitHub.

          Have you seen what happens to ANY website hosting pirated Nintendo content? How many of them are still online?

            Lots are. Just because you see a lot of media articles about it, doesnt mean they are actually making a dent.

              Presumptuous and incorrect. They have made a big dent already. Entire communities abandoned and dev teams disbanded. No-one is willing to share links publicly anymore. Thus my point - hosting their pirated content on any site that wishes to operate or be accessed from US, EU or the UK would be committing a suicide by defending, or even not taking action on their dmca requests.
