[QUOTE="Flying Scotsman, post: 9219952, member: 400191"] It sounds like you're in denial and haven't read the indictment. SX was on Ninty's radar for a while and if you read the indictment their main case against TX is the modchip side of the business. They've tacked SX on the side because while they would find it hard to sue purely on SX alone, bundling the 2 together (mod chip purpose built to bypass security measures and software to do the same) would pretty much guarantee the court sides with Nintendo and both SX and the hardware are taken down in 1 fell swoop. It isn't an excuse if it's the truth. Atmosphere is open source. Please find a line of code belonging to Nintendo specifically because guaranteed they've had their lawyers go over the entire project and they haven't found any evidence of that so please find an example and share it with the rest of us. Reimplementing functionality is not reusing Nintendo's code. I don't think you quite understand how the encryption keys work in either CFW. Atmosphere does not include the keys because that would be using Nintendo's own code and would fall under copyright infringement (i.e the cryptographic keys Geohot leaked and was sued for). Sept uses a pattern scanner to find the key in memory on the device and uses that pointer to decrypt the files required. Sharing a memory pattern is not copyright infringement hence why the project still survives to this day. You can verify this on the ReSwitched discord where SciresM discussed this. According to reverse engineers - TX included the key baked in. They used Nintendo's own cryptographic key which falls under copyright infringement (see Geohot Vs Sony). Of course they'll look at Atmosphere but SX was a derivitive of Atmosphere with piracy specific features included (which are lacking in Atmosphere). Now if Atmosphere included those piracy features and TX just put their name to it then that would be a different story but that is not the case at all. [/QUOTE]
