Careful though, you might get an DMCA just for existing. After all, you do house tools and guides that "circumvent their technological measure".
I mean they visit the site. They can just dm Costello if they want something removed and so far I haven't heard they've done so.
 
When this last updated before being taken down?

Hi guys. I'll be taking my sys-patch repo down later today. My sigpatch updater is down as well as I received another dmca from Nintendo.
I hope the great work will keep on, in a less asking-to-be-bitchslapped-by-BigN fashion (i.e. not on github).

Yes, let's never buy their games again (only hardware if you know what I mean)
They probably couldn't care less since you are already not a customer. Buying their hardware is quite irrelevant since console maker business model is sell the hw at a loss, and bank on the software royalty. This kind of threatening is moot.

I agree except on one point: a technically outdated hardware sold ~€350 is not what I'm considering a "sell the hardware at a loss". Not anymore since lonce, at least...
 
Can we please stop using Github, owned by Microsoft - an US corporation? It is getting ridiculous at this point.

List of alternatives;
https://codeberg.org/ - Germany
https://framagit.org/ - France (by Framasoft)
https://gitee.com/ - China. Good luck taking this one down. Shitendo can't do sh*t against China
https://gitflic.ru/ - Russia. Good luck with this one also

GitLab is not an alternative, since it is US based.

I dunno how all this stuff works, but is the eu a good idea? Or alternative? I mean, when they want, couldn't they also just DMCA some repos hosted in the eu? Or is a DMCA just an USA-thing?

there is no DMCA process in EU, each country implements copyright law differently, specially in regards to having access to a copy of a legally obtained software.

This sh*t works in America because it is the biggest capitalist country this world has ever seen. However, in Europe they must pay the loser's fees. With emulation being legal, it is a serious risk even for Nintendo.

Thanks for your detailed answer.
 
I'm not convinced moving projects elsewhere does anything because Nintendo can take them down just as easily (maybe not in russia or china but i would not trust these countries with anything anyway).

And besides that i have yet to see a takedown targeting sys-patch. The author took it down themselves.
