The same way you can use Freeshop for other purposes than downloading illegal copies of a game?Dumb counter argument. Web browsers serve so so so so so so so so many other uses than to download illegal files. Note how I said the device's only function is to blow up the planet, not that its a device capable of all sorts of things including possibly blowing up the planet.
Sorry, you're right. Couldn't help myself, though.Guys, can we please try to keep this discussion on topic?

That's beside the point. As I've said, Nintendo has to prove that this is its intended purpose, and they can't without a direct confession.I really hate repeating myself, sigh. You mean those purposes that the official eshop can already fulfill? Give me a break, we all know what the only real purpose of the freeshop is, and Nintendo is no fool to this fact either.

Well whatever, my overall point still stands. That everything freeshop could do legally, the already legit eshop could do as well. So the *wink *wink *nudge *nudge reality is that the only real purpose the freeshop serves is for illegal means.
And? This skating around is how cases like this are won. Nintendo has to prove that freeShop's intended purpose is piracy, and that the owner is purveying it as such.I'm surprised people aren't trying to argue that the clock in Freeshop is a "legit" reason one might have Freeshop. (Though I don't have my 3DS in front of me, can't recall if the Freeshop has a clock or not). I mean, we can do this *wink *wink *nudge *nudge thing all we want. But lets be real, no one out there has the freeshop just to redownload files they already paid for or to download demos, there would be zero reason to do that when an installed on the system out of the box app does that just fine.

Well I mean, an emulator's only purpose is to emulate its target system and in effect it can play games. Freeshop is sort of in effect that, just without the ability to decrypt any of the encrypted titles. Without the keys it's effectively useless on its own.
What about if Nintendo has banned me from the eShop servers and so in order to redownload my legit copies of my games I have to use Freeshop to do it?

I'm acting in the same way a judge would if this ever made it to a court room. Also, having "free" in the title doesn't inherently mean it's for piracy, and that argument is a fallacy. It could mean "free alternative".Well come on man, if you got banned from the eshop servers to begin with, you already did something illegal (my money is on playing Pokemon Sun or Moon online before they were officially released), so that argument doesn't really need to be entertained.
Plus I mean, just look at its name: Freeshop. It might as well have been called: "Give that Game to Me for No Money Shop" They're barely "hiding" the real function of the app, and I think its dumb that people here are trying to act like it's not clear at all what the purpose of the Freeshop is. And I'm someone that has enjoyed the app in the past, I'm just being honest about what it is.
You know some white knight is gonna be like hurhur you clearly deserve getting banned from the eShop servers because you did something absolutely horrible or else they wouldn't have ever banned you.

This was just an example, I doubt he was banned for real.You know some white knight is gonna be like hurhur you clearly deserve getting banned from the eShop servers because you did something absolutely horrible or else they wouldn't have ever banned you.

Still, on its own it cannot pirate. You can't play a game unless you have a system, no? Besides, why I'm banned from the eShop and its reason are seperate instances entirely to freeshop. I could've just as easily taken that rom through a site and installed it directly and there'd be no way for you to claim that it was freeshop's fault. The point is there is another way you can use it besides pirating.
