Interesting video from a lawyer, explaining the whole drama between Nintendo, Dolphin and Valve. It explains a lot of the current legal precedent really well, as well as how Nintendo and their lawyers crafted the cease and desist letter to Valve.

do video games eventually phase into public domain like literature? what about other media?

The video did mention something about public domain roms being legal but that puts a rom into public domain?
