What is the Entertainment Software Association and why do they have the right to request the removal of ROMs of games they had seemingly nothing to do with (eg. Super Smash Bros. Melee) from the internet?
In: Technology
Entertainment Software Association is a trade association, representing the companies that make video games in the United States. Essentially, trade associations are bodies that represent various businesses in the same industry, when they need to come together for common causes like lobbying Congress.
So the ESA has the right to request the removal of ROMs because they represent the people whose intellectual property is being stolen.
