I saw the headline "Bowser pleads guilty" earlier but I didn't click it.

Since the president of Nintendo of America is Doug Bowser...

Maybe in a decade or two we'll see a Bowser vs. Bowser film based on this event. Like Kramer vs. Kramer.

I'm extremely pro jailbreaking, so I'm not sure if I'm supposed to be happy about this

Presumably his tools were used to ruin competitive games or something, which would be bad

You did indeed stab me in the back. However, you are only level one, whilst I am level 50. That means I should remain uninjured.

You don't think that selling hacked systems for profit should be bad?

How many cfw apps come with a disclaimer like "this software is free, do not pay money for it"? This guy was exploiting that.

Why is Switch emulation so good? Because the Yuzu team is making $20K a month on Patreon, of course.

Wait, they were reselling physical systems and not just software?

So it's kind of like buying a car, souping it up with a more powerful engine or transmission, then reselling it?

As I understand it, the issue here is they were selling the units with ROMs loaded on them.

Making an Emulator is not illegal, and neither is modding your console.

More like buying a car adding a bunch of non-street legal upgrades and then selling it.

It says that they sold "illegal hacking devices", which I'll admit that I misread as "hacked devices" when I saw the article yesterday. But in the end, isn't it essentially the same anyway? Whether they sold software to assist with hacking, hardware to assist with hacking, or pre-hacked systems, they're still profiting from programs that other hackers released for free, which is extremely scummy even if you're pro-hacking. They're the type of people that those disclaimers are written about.

yeah, licenses are kind of a big deal among the open source community, although i can't remember the last time a case was pursued

i suppose the way to do it legally is to sell a device that has a button to download and install the software yourself

it makes sense that they got in trouble for selling the ROMs
