Selling basic technical literacy as a service is nothing new in the PC world. Don't see anything wrong with it here for people who are unwilling (too lazy) to learn themselves.

Of course the legality (in his country) still remains a problem as OP found out.

It's against the laws to download pirated games when you don't have the original but it's not illegal run own code on own console....

I think so but if I am wrong please don't be rude...tell me what is right
It's illegal to download pirated games even if you do own a legitimate copy.

In some countries you can legally make a backup of software you own, but there is no legal way to make legitimate backups of your 3DS games. Because to do so requires you bypass the copy protection Nintendo has in place, which is illegal in most cases and almost certainly a violation of Nintendo's EULA.

The whole reason I became a pirate was because of fast changing copy right laws. Legitimate is a temporary term for people who don't know how the system works. Give it a few years and you'll be a pirate either way.

As for charging for a mod; that is kind of low and your opening the doors for some serious stupidity. I used to build computers for people and you'd think I gave a life time warranty with full service and free upgrades with how people treated me. You can help, but don't do it for them and don't charge. Once money exchanges hands, they feel like you owe them.

N3DS Softmod info

If your N3DS has a firmware between 8.1 and 9.2 and want a CFW, I offer free info and complete instructions. You may borrow tool if you don't have them. This is completely legal because you paid for your console and you can do whatever you like to your console.

How about the above??

Please tell me more about this free cfw that works on 8.1?

therefore if anyone comes with 8.1, I will tell them their only options for now is Gateway, and they can use my cubic ninja to do the rest.

You're better off just saying you offer services on any 2ds / 3ds / n3ds at or below 9.2.

I personally only charge for "services" not for the software

Thats what I am doing. I am not distributing any software. If they can do it, I am not charging anything. If they have to use my cubic ninja, I have to charge a small "rental fee" (much like arcade, ppl have to put in money to play for short time). If they want me to do it, they will have to pay for my time.

I put up a craigslist ad today to install CFW for people, and they pay me a small fee ($30). Then I got this in email.

"May I ask politely that you remove your ad from craigslist regarding an illegal service to be performed on a Nintendo product. As of right now I have notated your phone number in case your services does appear again. And I will be reporting your phone number to the Nintendo piracy department as well as the local police if your ad continues to be advertised."

If I really did something wrong, I will delete the ad. Is it real? or Is it like some people here going around telling ppl not to use .cia and stuff and scare them with fake consequences?
I really don't want but I would like to know.
First, lawyers cost a lot of money. Second, it's not worth it.

That being said, the grammar is pretty sub-par. It's probably some other guy offering the same service trying to run you out of craigslist.

If you're going to continue down that road, you have to be smart. Get a burner email, use a google voice number, or better a prepaid cell, and if this jerk contacts you again, ignore him. Be smart and always act like you're getting a hooker - wait for them to suggest sex...er modding first. You never bring it up first.

And pay for the cell phone with cash FFS, avoiding the store cameras when you buy it. Only use it for business, only calling people who call you first. If you give the number out to your boys, family, etc. your known associations can be used to identify you based on your call profile. Crush it and trash it every 28 calls or days, whichever comes first.

IMHO, all that isn't worth the hassle. Better off getting a side job.
