Hacking Sigpatches for Atmosphere (Hekate, fss0, fusee & package3)

And instructions are not illegal! :3

The DMCA is:


The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) is a 1998 United States copyright law that implements two 1996 treaties of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO). It criminalizes production and dissemination of technology, devices, or services intended to circumvent measures that control access to copyrighted works (commonly known as digital rights management or DRM). It also criminalizes the act of circumventing an access control, whether or not there is actual infringement of copyright itself.

So dmca is about avoid the circumvent of protection measures

They can rat on US companies not following US law, but everyone outside the US is of course not subject to it.

Yes, this is a subsection of DMCA that they mention in the notice served to github is one that covers this.

(2) No person shall manufacture, import, offer to the public, provide, or otherwise traffic in any technology, product, service, device, component, or part thereof, that—
(A) is primarily designed or produced for the purpose of circumventing a technological measure that effectively controls access to a work protected under this title;
(B) has only limited commercially significant purpose or use other than to circumvent a technological measure that effectively controls access to a work protected under this title; or
(C) is marketed by that person or another acting in concert with that person with that person’s knowledge for use in circumventing a technological measure that effectively controls access to a work protected under this title.

However Github state:

"While GitHub did not find sufficient information to determine a valid anti-circumvention claim, we determined that this takedown notice contains other valid copyright claim(s)."

I would be interested to know what those other valid claims are though, as it has been previously mentioned in this topic, the sigpatches don't contain anything Nintendo owns the copyright to.

True, but a lot of other countries have equivalent law to cover the same things. Here in the UK for example this would be covered by the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988. There is a section that states pretty much the same thing, just worded slightly differently.

DMCA is against 1st Amendment! DMCA and all copyright laws need to be repealed.

Another Mario-loving commie, I see!

I'd agree with your sentiment if you had said that our copyright system needs a reform. It absolutely does, but it shouldn't be abolished entirely. It's a terrible implementation of a very fair idea, which is simply that people should have the right to be compensated for their work. People should hold copyright, not companies - that'd be a good starting point for a reform. But abolishing copyright altogether is a terrible idea.

Without copyright laws, it would be impossible for people to make a living in any creative field, especially in digital media where there's no "original" copy to be auctioned off (NFTs nonwithstanding). Why spend two years writing a book when any entrepreneur with a printing press can buy one copy, scan it and distribute tens of thousands of cheaper copies without giving you a single cent for your work? Why carefully develop and rigorously test a game if everyone can just legally pirate it? How will you put food on the table?

There's also the integrity of the work to consider. Do you think the Star Wars sequel trilogy was bad? Well, be thankful that Disney holds the copyright to that fictional universe with an iron fist, or first PornHub, then the whole world would be flooded with cinematographic masterpieces such as "Jabba the Hut puts his slimy green rod inside a girl who kind of looks like Carrie Fischer dressed in a slave Leia outfit, episode II, part XI: The Rise of Hutt *wink wink*", running time: (thankfully) six minutes because the neckbeard in the Jabba costume had an accident. And there would be nothing anyone could do to stop it.

lolnope, that's just you being a silly goose.

1st amendment only is for state, that they can't press against you. Nothing about civil matters.

Yes, the DMCA and Copyright laws in the US really needs to be seen over. Disney really helped to mess them up.

Well it was multiple charges for selling these devices. Often copyright is a civil matter, but I do understand where you come from.

on that case is not the trinket but the firmware for it.

In nintendos case it would be both.

Did you know you can make your own paperclip by simply bending a piece of wire into the correct shape? If you want me to write up a step by step guide, support my Patreon.

Ninty should give a DCMA to Ninty, because you can use a moded Joy-Con to hack your console!! so Ninty should ban the joy-cons

Why stop there? Ban the Switch! It's an essential tool for breaking the Switch's protections, you can't mod a Switch without a Switch.

 

[Gorkensnorkel]

Hey, so I am about to update my switch after a long hiatus and just wanted to ask what firmware I should update to so the latest Sig patches work?

with the pack of the op will work any firmware until today.

 

[Gorkensnorkel]

Ok, so update to 14.1.2 then. What is the pack of op? Is that the Sig patches linked on the first page of this thread?

I see there is a "rebootless update" and I have never heard of that before, any idea what that is? Just curious.
