Getting drunk has been proven to cause impairment. Piracy has not been proven to damage a company. Not a good comparison.
It's a great analogy as piracy has been proven to impact sales

I'd like to think karma is biting the TX team in the ass, but how in the hell did Ninty lawyers reach that number? did they pull it out of their asses?
They said it was an estimate. They will have made assumptions to reach it.
I would be interested in how they calculated it, but it's kinda pointless in terms of the court as everyone involved is fully aware that it's an estimate.
Backup copies are covered under Section 117 of US Copyright Law. The DMCA prohibits bypassing circumvention of technological measures for unauthorized copies. Ive always interpreted this personally as legitimate backups ARE authorized by federal law so unless youre actually pirating games no crime has been committed. Im also not a lawyer or legal expert nor do I pretend to be.

You can backup the software, but DMCA prevents modifications of consoles even to play legitimate backups.
However, DMCA only covers distributing the modification & not applying it (mainly because if you're a private citizen doing it for yourself then they can't ever know and if they could find out then the courts would be full of cases).
It doesn't change TX position whether you play backups of your originals, or downloaded files from the internet.
Let's face it. You could fit all the people who bought SXOS to play legitimate backups, in one room.
no scum have been brought to justice here, the scum are Nintendo and it's lawyers lets be real whether used for homebrew, piracy,a media centre, linux box etc..
When are you going to start being real? Who bought SXOS to use linux or a media centre?
Which is why the law makers need to wipe that restriction off the DMCA and make a new law that prohibits the reinstatement of said restriction!
That isn't how laws work.
And why would they?
But the core and lite themselves don't actually do anything beyond put the console in a state which allows it to accept a custom payload.
That is enough to be illegal, because they know that the people who have any kind of legitimate reason to do that are statistical noise compared to the pirates.
Unless they did visits to check all the SXOS customers were still using it for legitimate reasons, then banning it is their only option.
No, it's not. You disagree with it.
To say it's fraudulent is just delusional. Where is the fraud?
How do you indirectly steal code and what would Atmosphere have?
You disassemble it and then write something equivalent. That creates a clear copyright violation.
Which re3 will become very aware of soon.
