I feel that most of the "backup" people here (even if I give y'all the benefit of the doubt), are either not aware or intentionally overlooking the fact that SX OS has Horizon modules in it, as well as copyrighted gamecard headers to make their gamecard loader work.
I feel that most of the "backup" people here understand this and give zero F's about that.
ultimately comes down to the ends justify the means, you're correcting one injustice with
something your opposition would perceive as one.
From a right to repair/customer rights standpoint it is Immoral for Nintendo to have DRM that needs to be defeated on something I purchased.
if there was no DRM there be no need for SX or any open-source alternatives to allow "backups" legit or otherwise.
personally I think it's also immoral for them to ban consoles detected of being modded from their online service but atleast then you have the argument of the server being privately Nintendo's, similar to private membership being revoked from real-world club or equivalent.
what software vendors and media execs seek to do is have their cake and eat it too which doesn't fly any other industry.
could you imagine Ford or GM dictating what roads you're allowed to drive on post purchase?
or saying they only providers of service/parts.
it's just not a thing for a reason, it's inexcusable and gross.
I don't like it when Apple pulls that crap and uses CBP to illegally confiscate goods at the borders deemed to be "knockoffs" (eg. replacement parts or repaired parts)when they're not, just as I don't like software companies trying to dictate what I do with my media.
if you didn't want to sell it to me then you shouldn't have sold to me.
heck they even pull the "well you didn't buy the physical software you bought a license to use" but I should be able to trade my original cartridge in for its's equivalent rerelease in that case,
not to mention when you go to the store you're not presented with an EULA you need to agree to before purchase, or if you buy a piece of software open it up and then turn down the EULA( if there is one presented) you can then not return it, but if it was true you were buying a license legally you are entitled to return it, so make sense of that.
then there is the issue of in most countries for example mine you can't agree to a legal contract if you're under 18, does that mean that any child that has agreed any EULA is not bound by the EULA legally yes. ( if they were legal contracts, which they are not)
which brings us to the point of the fact that EULAs are not legal contracts to begin with and typically contain illegal stipulations in the first place.
the only place I've ever heard a EULA holding up in court is some jurisdictions lower courts in California and even then they've never escalated to the Supreme Court of California because companies don't want a precedent set against them, they would rather fear monger.
from a moral standpoint Nintendo and others like them have no grounds to stand on, they are just as if not more disgusting than the pirates they fight.
