Emulation

At least Sega and Sony mostly dropped their fearmongering/correlation fallacies ship after the Bleem situation, but companies like Nintendo and Irdeto insist on being setbacks to the market. And with devices more and more closing down on what the user can do, despite being glorified computers, a friend of mine would even say that "console modding is an act of self-defense". Furthermore, if piracy is as rampant as such companies insist on saying, I wonder how much wouldn't be a "problem of service", as GabeN once said, and/or if perhaps they're using correlation to justify limiting what people can do.
