I'm not going to argue the legality of the issue, because there's nothing to argue there, but it'd be nice if publishers could show more tact.
If you ask so, yes, there are multiple games that came out after years have passed. And if Kingdom Hearts Final Mix would have been translated and released you can be sure Square Enix would have done the same thing to protect their 1.5 HD ReMIX. I am not even sure how legal streaming Final Fantasy on Twitch is because the manuals say you may not publicly, no matter through which medium, show the copryrighted product. Though Twitch might be an exception as it is such a big thing now and probably means more future buyers.
