"profiting off their work" this is the equivalent to banning wine.

Google Gary Bowser if you think not affording it means Nintendo won't go after them

Ironically a lot of US states have banned reusable vapes but allow disposable ones making the problem worse

Yes but unless they ban cigarettes first, banning vapes will likely just have a negative effect

FOSS emulator developers need to learn that since the DMCA was passed, the state is hostile to them. It isn't fair and it doesn't matter that the Sony v Bleep lawsuit set precedence that emulators are legal because the DMCA is so vague that a judge can rule can rule it is impossible to legally emulate copy protected games. Developers need to start exclusively contributing and maintaining their projects through a pseudonym with no ties to their real identity or move to countries where shit like this doesn't happen.

They were not actively enabling piracy at all. Piracy discussion was banned on all their platforms as well as any information on how to get software title keys illegally. They did everything right and were still bullied out of 2.4 million

You think Nintendo is just going to stop? They can get an easy couple of million now by going after anyone with an emulator. I'm sure they could even go after discontinued console emulators too now they have a shitty service to play their old games.

Small enough this probably ends them

This actually probably the best way to get coke delivered. US domestic express mail needs a warrant to be opened and if he sent it to a different address but still gets caught then he gets a mail fraud charge on top of it.

On the books, that is the case in the US too but it is almost never enforced

Contactor staffing companies exist solely to get around employment regulations. Demonic industry
