Nintendo Community Tournament Guidelines (www.nintendo.co.uk)

So Nintendo just announced their "community tournament guidelines" which basically imposes restrictive rules against anyone running a tournament with their games. Is this even legal?

I think it's related to the rules for display of media. E.g., you can turn on the TV and show a baseball game you receive from an antenna at your home. But if you are a sports bar and try to do the same thing, the MLB will come calling asking for license payments.

Actually, MLB has fucked that up too, you only get local teams over cable, even if you shell out money for their official app.
