[QUOTE="RedBlueGreen, post: 9062249, member: 369673"] The CFW in question is SX OS, what Atmosphere lets you do is irrelevant to this lawsuit. And yes, there are CFWs that don't allow piracy, but if you can install unsigned packages, odds are it's circumventing copy protection, thus violating the DMCA. Again, I have no issue with these products and don't think they should be illegal any more than cable splitters and blank writable discs, I think it's on the end user whether they use it to pirate. But the fact of the matter is it's illegal because it violates the DMCA and falls under their prohibited (read: illegal) product classification. This isn't a matter of opinion (I'm pro CFW, I think it's the users using it to pirate who are at fault), it's objective fact that it is illegal, and that's what they're suing over. There were cases in Europe of Nintendo suing individual users in the Wii modding days, and they lost because Nintendo couldn't prove that they were pirating anything (my guess is said countries didn't have laws against circumventing copy protection unless it's to pirate). Nintendo isn't going after Atmosphere (yet). I doubt they will, because unless it circumvents copy protection, they won't really have a case (I mean, it's up to the jury or judge, but Atmosphere if it doesn't come with sigpatches or game cart emulation would be legal as long as there's no copyrighted material being included). If it circumvents copy protection it's illegal in the US as well. [/QUOTE]

Just be careful, if trump ends up winning and using project 2025 America might really change...for the worse.
