They're not manipulating anything, this is exactly what copyright law was intended to do from the outset: prevent unauthorized copying of published works. There's no idealized version of copyright that prevents this. You're either in favor of copyright and thus in favor of the outlawing of sites like Vimm's Lair, or you're against copyright.
Shame that we live in a world where corporations can easily manipulate copyright law to their liking. It's funny, Nintendo was once about passion, but like every company now, money is most important. We live in an era, similar to that of the Gilded Age, people are controlled by money and jobs. Is this fun for Nintendo? Do they enjoy torturing their fans? The answer lies within the eye of the beholder.
