Homebrew Freeshop gets DMCA'd on Github...

[Seriel]

Yeah but I bet somebody has the source and everything. The app should still work too

GitHub repos are significantly easier to DMCA than websites.
They'l be after the sites next, just you watch

just use ciangle or shameless instead

we doing dmca bingo?

personally I think it's about time all the homebrew apps get their own boot screen logos to avoid the easy takedown

 

[hacksn5s4]

What if they dmca arm 9 loader hax

 

[WeedZ]

All this is futile since cfw will be able to do the same thing in the near future.

 

[hacksn5s4]

Cruel probs has the source backed up problem is if he puts it back up its going to get taken down again and he can possibly get sued for it

 

[Posghetti]

Saddening news.. although I feel Ninty's headaches and understand their decision in DCMAing these types of projects, anything free rings to my hears haha. #PiracyIsARight

 

[GhostLatte]

Cia angle is next

just use ciangle or shameless instead

You don't have to repeat yourself, mister.

It's only a matter of time before they take down the website with the qr code.Nintendo must be doing poorly in sales right now,I wouldn't be surprised if they paywall the switch from doing online multiplayer because of this.

I hope people know that this isn't about the eshop's stupid logo but instead logo.bin (The 3ds animation between games)

The freeShop application also contains unauthorized copies of the Nintendo 3DS Logo Data file, covered by U.S. Copyright Reg. No. PA0001781880, which further infringes Nintendo's rights.

If you have a .cia of a homebrew app use the homebrew launcher channel's logo.bin.

From what I understand, the application was not taken down because of it's unique feature, but rather because it contains Ninty's eShop Logo?
So if we were to replace that logo with something else, it'd be fine?

well if freeshop retrieves the cache from the repo even-while privatized, the app is still downloading the LATEST cache available i havent booted up freeshop in a few months and it grabed cache r32

not just that it says this to The freeShop application provided at https://github.com/Cruel/freeShop/releases infringes Nintendo's copyrights, because the application circumvents Nintendo's technological protection measures in violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. Nintendo encrypts the game files available from its eShop servers to prevent users from accessing those files without paying for them. Nintendo believes the freeShop application circumvents Nintendo's protection measures by decrypting the game files accessible from its eShop servers, allowing freeShop users to access and play Nintendo's eShop games for free

Well let's see, it's built with copyrighted material (basically anything that uses makerom for a CIA), it uses a copyrighted Nintendo logo, it can be used to directly download illegal ticket files (updater built into app), it uses Nintendo's installation procedures, and above all else, its primary usage is piracy. Nintendo pretty much has full legal right to DMCA this.

Actually, their only rightful reason is for the copyrighted logo. All the crap about piracy is the same argument companies make against Torrent clients. Nintendo has to prove that freeShop's developer is purposely purveying copyrighted content, and this ain't the case. It's up to the end user to decide if they're going to use it for illegal purposes or not. Saying "well of course everyone's going to use this for piracy because that's its purpose" is also a fallacy and not inherently true. A good attorney would be able to fight this easily.

Yes it should be fine. (Remove the eshop logo in the app just in case anyways)
