It doesn't cryptofix, it just adds the same SEEDDB entry that would normally be added by the eShop, bypassing the need to cryptofix. And this is only done on install, not creation. If you create a CIA, and install it manually, you will either need to use the latest FBI (It has the seeddb stuff in it) or cryptofix it manually.
You're not gonna get sued by Nintendo if that's what you're asking. And so far, there are no reports of anyone ever being banned for using this to download games straight from the E-shop
If you download games you don't own on the eShop, you are breaking copyright law.
@Purge is right though, it's unlikely anything will happen. But be aware you WILL be breaking the law if you don't own the content you're downloading

To clarify, at least for the United States, there is no "breaking the law". I cannot speak for the laws of other countries (like the UK, Canada, etc), but at least in the USA, you're not breaking any law, per say. Nintendo could in theory sue you for copyright infringement, but that's a civil matter. I could sue you because I don't like the color of your socks, for example.
Note that civil law in the USA is never "illegal" or "against the law"; something is "illegal" if it violates criminal law (think theft, murder, or so on). It simply means it is reasonable grounds to be sued for. That being said, Nintendo would be a complete fool to sue someone for it. The general amount you can be sued for personal copyright infringement of this kind would be around $5,000. It would cost Nintendo mountains more to track you down, send you a notice, hire a lawyer, and go through a rather lengthy courtroom process.
TL;DR: Piracy isn't illegal in the USA, nor will it ever be. Nintendo could sue you, but it would be illogical from a financial standpoint for them.
I suppose not, it just seems so much more risky downloading it on nintendo infrastructure that's all.
I suppose it's possible that if piracy of 3DS software becomes so widespread that it starts to significantly impact Nintendo's income, they may choose to hunt down a few people just to make an example out of them and drive the number of pirates down in the hopes of increasing sales
Nintendo can't really tie it back to you, just your IP, and IP's aren't people. CIAngel sends no identifying information to Nintendo's servers while downloading data.

As @Purge said, it's highly unlikely Nintendo would go after people utilizing tools like this. Unless you're breaking the multiple thousands of dollars boundry (Downloading EVERY title) then you're fine.
They'd more likely go after the creators of such tools, and I'm much easier to find
Stop the bullshit.
Violating the law, even just civil law, is still illegal.
Willfully violating copyright is often a criminal offense. I mean seriously, have you never played a DVD in your life?
He kinda sounds like one of those "freeman of the land" types who doesn't acknowledge certain laws
But yes, breaking copyright law is indeed breaking the law
Does this mean I would be able to start directly from the Home menu Zelda Picross if installed through the install option of your program?
That's right, that's actually one of the titles I'm using to test
So that one will guaranteed work.
Nope, it's one I'm working on for a release this weekend-ish.
Sorry to bring up something so late but I have tried installing smash (it did install) but I don't have any of the DLC. Is there another CIA i need to download via CIAngel?
Just install mode. FBI will automatically grab the seed from the internet on install of a CIA.
The Smash DLC is separate from the game itself. Search for Smash again, and look for the one with a Type of DLC (Shown on the bottom screen in the latest release)

I feel like school, back when I was actually in school, was more entertaining though, because of how much I get to interact with people, hang out with friends, and other stuff like that. All I get to talk to at work is my boring coworkers lol -

Anybody here have a Xbox series S and a series X, is the performance difference noticeable? Not worried about 4k. I have a series X but not a series S and was curious. (Reason- I was thinking of buying a series S for a second tv, for when grandkids come over, to keep them off my X)
