    Homebrew Leaked SDK = better homebrew?

    Not true, registering a copyright serves only to make it easier to prove you own it. In this case, that is not an issue. All copyright restrictions are in place instantly as soon as the work is created.

    Homebrew Leaked SDK = better homebrew?

    It's called copyright, and yes that is very much illegal for those downloading it. Copyright prevents anyone from copying a work of art (which includes computer software) without permission from the copyright owner (usually the author(s), or the company that employs the author(s)). Downloading...

    otoh, ps3 console bans can be bypassed easily.

    Homebrew Leaked SDK = better homebrew?

    It would be illegal to do anything with it. Technically you could distribute the source code only, but no one could legally compile it (including the original author), let alone distribute it. It is not worth the trouble, unless you just don't care at all that it is illegal, which still has its...

    Homebrew Nintendo copy right?

    Um...since when? Nintendo has a lot of weird theories about copyright law that go wayyyyy passed reality. They've been saying emulators are illegal because all copies of their software are also illegal pirated copies (even if you made them yourself) for a very long time now. They've also...

    You don't need to shut it down, you just need to make sure you follow all the rules that govern this kind of website. Look into the dmca. Yes, it does, however I am not an expert on copyright law, and i do not know if that is enough to prevent liability. You will need to figure that out for...

    Custom themes made entirely by users are totally 100% fine. You can host those without any risk. But not all of the themes you are hosting are. A lot of them are are using art made entirely by nintendo, or others, and not by the users uploading them.

    And this is why you don't take legal advice from gbatemp: original source is this http://www.4gamer.net/games/999/G999905/20141117079/ . it basically says they give permission to post videos, such as lets plays, of nintendo games to nicovideo.jp only.

    Homebrew Nintendo copy right?

    Well, you should talk to a lawyer. But since that is not an option, i can't say. Realistically, it's highly unlikely anything will happen, as long as you quickly respond to any messages from nintendo or others, but i can't say what the risks would be. You will have to decide for yourself if it...

    Homebrew Nintendo copy right?

    Perhaps you shouldn't do it then? Although it's unlikely (i never said it wasn't!), what would you do if nintendo were to sue you? If you can't even afford to talk to a lawyer for a few hours about what you need to do to stay within the law, how will you afford to deal with that? Random gbatemp...

    Homebrew Nintendo copy right?

    Okay, then do what you want, but don't be surprised if you get in legal trouble because of it, since you clearly don't understand the law well enough. Which is understandable, because the law is very complicated, but that is why you talk to people who have studied it and been trained to...

    Homebrew Nintendo copy right?

    Yeah, that's not how it works. Being art doesn't inherently allow you to ignore copyright/trade marks. You can only do it for specific purposes. For example, parody. If you were to make a movie about mickey mouse, disney would sue you, and win. However, stuff like this is totally fine, and...

    The contents of their website is copyrighted. Their name and logo is trade marked. You cannot copyright a name.

    Homebrew Nintendo copy right?

    Starbucks is not copyrighted, it's trade marked. You should probably talk to a lawyer if you don't even know that much.

    I mean I can tell the difference even with a high bitrate MP3 but I guess "it sounds good enough"
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Plus studio quality MP3's do exist, they are just like 512Kbps and are huge ass files lol
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, Yea I when I can i notice mp3 sounds worse
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    I say "when i can" because I have some hearing problems
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Psionic Roshambo, MP3s were designed to be as small as possible, so that they can be shared on the internet. WAVE files were more bigger in size and would take hours to upload back in the day.

    @SylverReZ, what kind of headphones you use, fam? You run a DAC or anything?

    Soundcore is decent for cheap
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    I used to have my entire music collection in FLAC, but there is so many songs and devices that I want to store them that lossless compression wasn't enough, not to mention compatibility
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    a few years ago I decided to convert everything to mp3 with a relatively high bitrate, I had a terrible feeling I would regret doing that but to honest, I couldn't tell the difference in the audio quality after I did that

    I mean built in sound on mobo's has gotten way better but still XP handled sound better and X-Fi was still better than onboard audio even to this day
