It’s annoying that if it would have gone to court it would have probably lost because the system in most western countries (not sure which exact one Yuzu is based in) is based in such a way that intellectual ‘property’ needs to be considered a real thing in terms of law to protect people who make ideas/information rather than material things so they have an income (because an income is necessary in this economic system) so therefore piracy is against the law and information itself is policed - ironically, it was the Nazis who burned books, and China with its Great Firewall that were justly criticised.

But when a big company like Nintendo, in kahoots with the western legal system wants to control the spread of information (code is just information), most people don’t care or even support it. As though they think a country where a few large companies can stop information being legally or easily shared is great, because it makes sure people pay for their art or music (money they need because there is a universal basic income - which is clearly (/s) terrible or inconceivable).

Sorry about the wall of text, I feel that kind of ran on a bit. But I have a lot of frustration I need to get out about this that can only be negated by ranting at strangers on the Internet who have no more power than me to do anything about it.
