Thanks... cripes, I knew that site name from familiar but couldn't place it
Basically, these translation patches are a legal grey area. We can't stop translated ISOs from showing up on the net, but if anyone finds any site that attributes the file directly or indirectly to Chep or gbatemp.net, the administrators of those sites should be contacted and a request should be made to pull the files - otherwise it looks (from the POV of a legal team) as if the ISO has been uploaded by either the patch author or someone directly connected to the project. There are occasionally some talented hackers and coders who become so proud of their work that they step over the legal line in order to show it off to a bigger audience. Anyone here who's been following this project for a while knows that's not the case here, but convincing a team of well-paid lawyers acting on behalf of NIS/NISA or their publishers would likely be much harder.
If an external website chooses to keep full ISOs illegally available for download that's their own choice and responsibility, I don't want to go too deeply into the rights and wrongs of that because that's something every site owner would surely be aware of and decide for himself, but for a project such as this the absolute best way of clearly establishing the stance the author and others involved in the project is to actively intervene whenever possible, like the members of another project I used to be involved with (which is where I had this mentality drummed into me) always tried to do:

Had I not been using the browser on my Vita (my laptop died some time ago, which is why I haven't posted in a while) I'd merely have emailed the site I mentioned and attempted to have the file pulled; I most likely won't have mentioned it on here, but I needed to in this case to alert everyone in the hopes someone would be able to. I really wasn't expecting the situation to be solved in the peculiar way it has been, I'm gobsmacked
