I think it's pretty accurate. Nintendo is super protective of their IP and they don't like others profiting from it in any way.

Bleem was also paid software. I think people are forgetting that, at the time, downloading software over the Internet wasn’t super common. Software was distributed with discs. In a box. At the store. Which sold things. For money.
