 NES WORLD: NES RELATED LAWSUITS
Nintendo charged Galoob with direct and contributory infringement, claiming that "Game Genie" enables an owner of a Nintendo videogame cartridge to make adaptations or modifications to his or her own taste and ability, and to create unauthorized derivative works.
The Galoob court, however, was not willing to "stretch" the definition of "derivative work" where the performance was non- commercial and was confined to the homes of purchasers of legitimate copies of the videogame.
Galoob's declaratory judgment complaint had alleged that § 117 was a defense to Nintendo's assertion of infringement.

Some have even suggested that Galoob, by proving that the franchise still had legs, was indirectly responsible for this year's revival and for the prequel trilogy that will debut in May of 1999.

 Lewis Galoob Toys, Inc. v. Nintendo of America, Inc. (1992)
The district court concluded that, even if the audiovisual displays created by the Game Genie [**11] are derivative works, Galoob is not liable under 17 U.S.C. § 107 because the displays are a fair use of Nintendo's copyrighted displays.
A commentary that incorporated large portions of For Whom the Bell Tolls, for [*971] example, would be undeserving of fair use protection because the incorporated portions would constitute an unpublished derivative work.
The district court further concluded [**15] that the amount of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole "cannot assist Nintendo in overcoming the presumption of fair use." Galoob, 780 F. Supp.
