I'm a moderator of the 3dshacks subreddit, and there is a no piracy rule there. I came here because of that, and my complaint is from that view. People asking about the patch and posting the link to here, directing to a piracy site for the update, makes me have to remove the question. I don't need an increased work load on my moderations because a translation isn't done legally.

Even though updates are free, they are still copyrighted, and thus they are piracy to distribute unofficially, thus the people using the patch need to have eShop access to get it. That means you make a version that doesn't need the update, for people without the right region firmware, or you point them to dump it from a Japanese system themselves.
The Dai Gyakuten Saiban translation figured a way to do it without requiring piracy.
