Even so there's still the matter of
Even if they may have originally used the logo as an excuse when taking it down, if you try to just change the logo, they'll press this^ further.Nintendo said:
Unlikely they will be able to take down the titlekey website, first off it's not hosted in the US, and second if the current host pulls it the developer of it will probably just find a new host.
The cache is hosted in a different repo from FreeShop itself, which hasn't been pulled.
Does someone have the source? I'll try to mirror on notabug.

Well, fuck... freeshop was about the only way I was able to discover new things to play. Since *that* ISO site is full of links that basically only upload at 2kb/second or are behind cancerous ad-walls, and CIAngel doesn't actually list anything *new*, and how neither has Project X Zone 2 available in any shape or form.
I'm upset about this because it helped me discover games I never would have known were available.

i dont think freeshop the application circumvents any protections, the downloads can be done using google chrome, where is googles DMCA notice nintendo?? just because your security is flawed and people found the flaws does not mean that every application is breaking the law.
techincally nintendo broke the law by providing its users with such poor security to begin with.

CIAngel and FreeShop have literally the same list of games available (With them being available in CIAngel first). Unless you mean we don't have a "New Releases" list?
No, it doesn't. It doesn't list games with demo's available. It doesn't list VC games available to me *now*, unless I use the .jp version, which does fuck all for me.
Freeshop certainly wasn't a complete mirror of the eshop either (again, neither shop alternative even attempts to have Project X Zone 2, as a prime example), but it was considerably better laid out and filter-able to find what I would want.
It also doesn't change that without such alternatives, many of the games I would then install, I'd have never given a chance otherwise. Or rather, I wouldn't have tried them out because Nintendo couldn't be arsed to have a demo, and no no actual sales.
Again, freeShop decrypts the content, thus making it illegal.
Nintendo themselves literally explain the whole thing in the DMCA notice, they're not idiots...
Yea, but nobody can be blamed for thinking Nintendo legal is full of the kind of people that try to self-diagnose with autism as if it was some kind of excuse for being a terrible carbon-based lifeform.
Stop whining because you broke the law and someobody took action.Anyone who whines about this like the other DMCA takedowns is an idiot tbh
Nintendo is protecting their own copyright, you wouldn't like it if people stole games you made either
I'm cool with piracy, do what you want with your console and all, but don't fucking complain when the company starts trying to reclaim their copyright
Or as Nintendo themselves say:

I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer

TwoSpikedHands:
Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?

@TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one

Sicklyboy:
I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
