Alternatively: "Using Nintendo music is fine. They didn't go against ICE over it, so they obviously don't care about it"

    Exactly this. If I recall, there's a principle in at least some IP* law suggesting that each time you don't defend your absolute ownership of the IP, you are making it easier for others legally get away with infringing in future.

    I know just enough to imagine this could wildly differ between patent, trademark, copyright, and whatever other realms there are in IP.

    *Intellectual Property, for anyone unfamiliar with or not quite placing the acronym.
