Another day means another lawsuit, when it comes to Nintendo. A court dispute, originally filed in May, saw the company go after Uberchips, a reseller of Team Xecuter's, as Nintendo puts it, "piracy tools". Nintendo filed seeking damages against Uberchip's owner, Tom Dilts Jr., who proceeded to take his website down following the initial court dispute, though he maintained his own innocence. Prior to May, Dilts had been selling the SX OS dongle through Uberchips.com, which Nintendo states facilitated piracy, and now, both he and Nintendo have come to a conclusion in a new joint filing. A permanent injunction has been ruled, and a settlement of $2 million in damages must be paid to Nintendo. A stipulation of the ruling also permanently bans Dilts from ever reselling any Team Xecuter products, and if any leftover chips remained, they must be seized and destroyed.

This matter came before the Court on the parties’ Consent to Entry of Judgment and Permanent Injunction, Dkt. No. 14, and Joint Motion for Entry of Final Judgment and Permanent Injunction, Dkt. No. 15. The Court enters judgment as follows: 1. Plaintiff is hereby awarded judgment against all Defendants, jointly and severally, in the amount of US$2,000,000.00. 2. Each party shall bear its own costs and attorneys’ fees.

Its Great news with these 2 millions they Will be able to makw more ports

Well the document that he gotten arrested is proving enough, but else they made a lot of mistakes on hiding the identity who they were.

There's no reason for a mod chip company to even hide their identity. In a legit, non-crooked court, the case would be thrown out UNLESS they made the mistake of advertising the chip specifically for piracy. The Nintendo cases all assume the defendant will cave in and not even go to court.

their ip and copy right laws are a joke because it's common place to pirate there.

One could say that american murder laws are a joke too because there are so many unsolved murders.

I mean that’s a bit of a stretch. China literally doesn’t care about non-Chinese companies. And on a moral scale and even a legal scale murder is way worse.

 

[smf]

Those laws are fucking insane too.

Maybe, maybe not. Drugs do cause a problem to society though, so it's kinda like having speed limits on roads. Who are they to tell you that going 50mph is fine but 100mph isn't??

You think I give a shit about that? I'm sorry, but I don't use the internet to get moral lectures from people I don't know. Try again. Who are you to tell me what we can or can't do? That's not against TOS on this site, so spare me with such nonsense.
I'm sorry that my using emulators and ROMs offends you, that's not my problem though, so deal with it.

You sound like you care very much what people think.

But we don't have to pretend laws don't exist just because you want to break them, but can't cope with the idea of breaking a law.

Sony v. Connectix and Sony v. Bleem! say hi, emulators aren't illegal, look it up

PS1 used CD's that could be read by the machine running those emulators and the games aren't encrypted so there aren't any DMCA issues. It's a very unique situation. I don't see how you can emulate a switch without breaking a law or two though.

America only seems to care when white people are murdered, especially if they can find a black person to blame it on. The law is supposed to protect everyone equally, but of course it doesn't. I doubt american law enforcement would pay much attention to something that the chinese government were unhappy about, especially with Donald Trump in charge.

You said emulation was not piracy. It is.

It isn't always piracy, if you avoid dmca and copyright pitfalls then it can be fine (depending on the country).

However in the vast majority of cases it is piracy & anyone saying that emulation can never be piracy is delusional.

Name one game worth playing that wouldn't be piracy if you downloaded it to emulate it.

Yea that’s true, having lived in both countries I’d say both have their pros and cons. China is very safe and people are generally very nice. They say there’s no freedom of speech against the government but for me I don’t even know the politicians names and I don’t understand what they say on the news in China. So I don’t get bothered much by it lol. But yea we have a lot of violence, drugs and theft compared to China.

 

[smf]

If you're in a country that signed up to the berne convention then there are no computer games that have come out of copyright (at a minimum it's 50 years since the authors death).

Emulating doesn't require you to download though, as you can dump your own rom chips etc. Although it's rather safe to assume that the vast majority of people don't do that.

Yea the two countries are definitely messing with each other a lot right now. I’m just hoping for an open source developer to eventually make it possible to inject payloads with an sx lite installed. I like my lite more than my regular switch lol. Someone will see it as a challenge and want to do it. The challenge is what makes this stuff fun to do.

Looks like you deleted the closing /QUOTE in square brackets, or at least inserted/deleted a character out of it.

You should be able to edit it the post and fix it.

Yea cuz it thought it wanted me to quote two things so I deleted a little too much. I just think it’s funny that the tx guys got caught in like 5 months. Like cmon you couldn’t hide or something?

 

[ov3rkill]

Will this mean that SXOS and/or V2 hard mod won't appear in the light of the day? Will they be moving towards the dark web? I hope not. Geezus.

 

[smf]

Nice try, lying SJWs. The black on white crime rate is horrifically higher than vice versa.

Those statistics are based on who they prosecute for a crime.

If they overlook white people when a black man is killed then that is exactly what the statistics would look like.

What do you think it was supposed to prove?

At least he provided statistics. What you offered is not even conjecture, its opinion.

Look at London for example. When you go out, and someone comes up to you to say "do you want coke" its not malaysians. Majority of stabbings, not the chinese. Majority of other similar crimes, well its not the indian kids doing it. Not for the most part.

If you're going to have a fair discussion, be fair.

You have to be the most delusional or #1 biggest liar on the planet trying to claim black on white crime is 12x higher than vice versa because "whites commit the same amount of violent crimes against blacks but they just aren't caught" HAHAHAHA. If my neighbor told me this I would move because I don't want to live near the criminally insane.

The system is biased AGAINST whites, not for them. Any type of white crime is prosectued as a "hate crime", while probably over half of these black on white crimes are racial "hate crimes" but NEVER prosectued as such. Hell, as a white person I've had black criminals attempt to rob me before not once, but twice (didn't succeed either time).

Black on white crime is probably the #1 problem in America.

hah look at the third guys name "gary bowser" nintendo caught a real life bowser villain

I didn't, I said that american law enforcement doesn't care about it. Quit making strawmen.

I'm pretty sure that isn't true.

"this paper provides robust evidence that black male federal arrestees ultimately face longer prison terms than whites arrested for the same offenses with the same prior records."

At least he provided statistics. What you offered is not even conjecture, its opinion.

I'm not sure it would help if we both lied about statistics.

 

[the_randomizer]

Who said anything about that you idiot? I emulate shit too, right now I'm playing DoDonPaichi.
You said emulation was not piracy. It is. Just own up to your mistake and admit that, like every one here, you're a filthy pirate too.

Using insults, how mature of you. Get bent, take your ad hominem attacks and get stuffed.

funny how theres nothing about this on maxconsole
