    This is probably a good argument for torrents. Lame that something as gray as a simple emulator is catching flak but Nintendo can’t really play whack-a-mole with dozens or hundreds of random seeders

        Gray as in that’s what Nintendo believes and that’s how Nintendo will act, and they have lawyers on payroll to back it up. Precedents are like crosswalks, you’re best off acknowledging the ignorance of the dude who’s apt to run you over

          Such a good analogy. I’d go further and say all laws are like this. They don’t actually stop anyone from doing anything, and they don’t even guarantee anything will happen to them as a consequence. They’re just lines on the road.
