Homebrew Freeshop gets DMCA'd on Github...

[chrisrlink]

Yes it should be fine. (Remove the eshop logo in the app just in case anyways)

Even so there's still the matter of

The freeShop application provided at https://github.com/Cruel/freeShop/releases infringes Nintendo's copyrights, because the application circumvents Nintendo's technological protection measures in violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. Nintendo encrypts the game files available from its eShop servers to prevent users from accessing those files without paying for them. Nintendo believes the freeShop application circumvents Nintendo's protection measures by decrypting the game files accessible from its eShop servers, allowing freeShop users to access and play Nintendo's eShop games for free.

Even if they may have originally used the logo as an excuse when taking it down, if you try to just change the logo, they'll press this^ further.

Guys don't worry someone's probably just gonna rebrand the old one and re-release it.

It's only a matter of time before they take down the website with the qr code.Nintendo must be doing poorly in sales right now,I wouldn't be surprised if they paywall the switch from doing online multiplayer because of this.

Unlikely they will be able to take down the titlekey website, first off it's not hosted in the US, and second if the current host pulls it the developer of it will probably just find a new host.

well if freeshop retrieves the cache from the repo even-while privatized, the app is still downloading the LATEST cache available i havent booted up freeshop in a few months and it grabed cache r32

The cache is hosted in a different repo from FreeShop itself, which hasn't been pulled.

They could still update the eshop servers with more secuity and make a system update with it

Not really. As far as I understand, if they do that, everyone will have to buy everything again.

Does someone have the source? I'll try to mirror on notabug.

Guy.... Time to make mirror of most github repo....

I was thinking about this a long ago,the new CEO of nintendo... I don't feel that he will leave hacker in security XD

Well, fuck... freeshop was about the only way I was able to discover new things to play. Since *that* ISO site is full of links that basically only upload at 2kb/second or are behind cancerous ad-walls, and CIAngel doesn't actually list anything *new*, and how neither has Project X Zone 2 available in any shape or form.

I'm upset about this because it helped me discover games I never would have known were available.

What's the difference between the two?

One is dumped using the "Sysnad original" and one with "Sysnand Decrypted" from Decrypt9.
Ive dumped original and decrypted, so there is no problem.

i dont think freeshop the application circumvents any protections, the downloads can be done using google chrome, where is googles DMCA notice nintendo?? just because your security is flawed and people found the flaws does not mean that every application is breaking the law.

techincally nintendo broke the law by providing its users with such poor security to begin with.

CIAngel doesn't actually list anything *new*

CIAngel and FreeShop have literally the same list of games available (With them being available in CIAngel first). Unless you mean we don't have a "New Releases" list?

I hope people know that this isn't about the eshop's stupid logo but instead logo.bin (The 3ds animation between games)

The freeShop application also contains unauthorized copies of the Nintendo 3DS Logo Data file, covered by U.S. Copyright Reg. No. PA0001781880, which further infringes Nintendo's rights.

If you have a .cia of a homebrew app use the homebrew launcher channel's logo.bin.

No, it doesn't. It doesn't list games with demo's available. It doesn't list VC games available to me *now*, unless I use the .jp version, which does fuck all for me.

Freeshop certainly wasn't a complete mirror of the eshop either (again, neither shop alternative even attempts to have Project X Zone 2, as a prime example), but it was considerably better laid out and filter-able to find what I would want.

It also doesn't change that without such alternatives, many of the games I would then install, I'd have never given a chance otherwise. Or rather, I wouldn't have tried them out because Nintendo couldn't be arsed to have a demo, and no no actual sales.

Again, freeShop decrypts the content, thus making it illegal.
Nintendo themselves literally explain the whole thing in the DMCA notice, they're not idiots...

Yea, but nobody can be blamed for thinking Nintendo legal is full of the kind of people that try to self-diagnose with autism as if it was some kind of excuse for being a terrible carbon-based lifeform.

Anyone who whines about this like the other DMCA takedowns is an idiot tbh
Nintendo is protecting their own copyright, you wouldn't like it if people stole games you made either

I'm cool with piracy, do what you want with your console and all, but don't fucking complain when the company starts trying to reclaim their copyright

Or as Nintendo themselves say:

Stop whining because you broke the law and someobody took action.
