Yea but why would he get in trouble for it. He wasn't even the one that provided the keys.
Section 1201 divides technological measures into two categories: measures that prevent unauthorized access to a copyrighted work and measures that prevent unauthorized copying of a copyrighted work. Making or selling devices or services that 2 are used to circumvent either category of technological measure is prohibited in certain circumstances, described below.
...
Section 1201 proscribes devices or services that fall within any one of the following three categories:
- they are primarily designed or produced to circumvent;
- they have only limited commercially significant purpose or use other than to circumvent; or
- they are marketed for use in circumventing.

yay, sure =/
Your Luma is screwed up, manually update it to the latest version
what do you mean? any faq?
So like if he put it under another name or made another account or something would he still get in trouble.First, it did use the eShop logo as a base. Second, once they used that to takedown the project, given the very nature of this utility.... It is virtually impossible to put it back up, seeing as it serves only piracy purposes. Hell, its very name states it.
It's hard to defend such a project that has already been taken down.

Well if that's the case then CIAngel will probably be next. Both of them do the exact same thing. Well besides the logo and name.I made a comment on Reddit outlining why Nintendo are completely in their right to file this DMCA takedown. It seems not a lot of people know what changes DMCA actually made to certain laws and whatnot. They introduced Section 1201, which states the following:
There's no doubt freeShop violates this.
Fully expecting to receive one of these for CIAngel in the near future, but whatevs, it's all good, it's been downloaded 85,000 times, and Nintendo can't take those copies backSo like if he put it under another name or made another account or something would he still get in trouble.
I mean it's not that hard to change the image and name of his app. UGH why nintendo!

Fuck Nintendo.
If anyone wants to know whether I'm going to counter it, I'm not yet sure. That could permit them to file lawsuit against me and I'm already legally battling more serious charges unrelated to freeShop that left me relatively poor. I'm not going to ask for donations to battle it either since I will likely not get enough and it's probably not worth it.
Cache updates will still work for now. But I'm looking into alternative source/build hosting solutions.
They cite no legitimate violation, from my understanding, except the use of Nintendo's logo on the CIA build (unrelated to the source repos, and they took them all down). That was a mere oversight and I have no problem changing that logo, it requires change a single line in the source.
To claim it circumvents any protections is laughable, though I'm unsure if it's legally sound (law is often laughable itself). It only circumvents protections if people utilize title keys they did not purchase or obtain legally. If people illegally obtain the password/PINs of a person's bank account, you can't criticize the banking website for facilitating theft. And the argument can be used against their own eShop application, which facilitates theft by downloading unowned copies of Nintendo's games when users merely install tickets locally. The only difference is freeShop gives slightly more control over ticket installation, you can even install tickets with nonsense keys you give it and they'll just fail.
So if CIAngel gets take down to ig everyone will have to until someone else makes a new app that does the same thing that these two do.Fully expecting to receive one of these for CIAngel in the near future, but whatevs, it's all good, it's been downloaded 85,000 times, and Nintendo can't take those copies back
They're not whining. They have every right to try to stop piracy.So if CIAngel gets take down to ig everyone will have to until someone else makes a new app that does the same thing that these two do.
That's really sad Nintendo are just whining because more and more people are learning how to hack their console.
You say unauthorized but FreeShop doesn't need authorization to fetch the games from Nintendo's servers. As a matter of fact, no program does. The only part that might be "unauthorized" is what the 3DS itself does.
What do you mean, won't update? This is serious stuff, O.o, since I'm the one currently maintaining it.updated luma via lumaupdater(star one wont update), everything works like a charm
THANK YOU GUYYYYYYS
True True but to be going after Freeshop this late in the game is just stupid. I know that this isn't the first time Freeshop has been mentioned to them.They're not whining. They have every right to try to stop piracy.

Yea ig i mean they do have a right to their stuff, but that still doesn't mean that freeshop is at fault.It isn't. Better do it late than never.
