ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Galoob v. Nintendo

Once upon a time, there were two companies: Galoob and Nintendo. Galoob made a tiny video game console called the Game Genie that could help people cheat in their Nintendo games. Nintendo didn't like this, so they sued Galoob for making the Game Genie.

The lawsuit went to court where a judge had to decide if Galoob was doing something wrong by making the Game Genie. Galoob said that people should be able to use the Game Genie however they want because it just changes a little bit of the code in the Nintendo game. Nintendo said that it was not fair for Galoob to change their games without permission because people could still use the Game Genie to play the games without buying them.

Finally, the judge had to think very hard about this problem and decided that Galoob was not breaking any laws by making the Game Genie. The judge said that Galoob was helping people have more fun with their Nintendo games, and that's always a good thing. So, Galoob was allowed to keep making the Game Genie and Nintendo had to accept it.

In the end, people could continue to use the Game Genie to cheat in their Nintendo games, and Galoob became known as the company that stood up for people's right to have fun in their own way.
