So when a bigcorp says jump you expect everyone to just do so?


I think the point is, you’re welcome to place yourself in Nintendos crosshairs, and we’ll cheer you on as you pit your billions against Nintendos billions, fighting for a favorable ruling.

Dolphin developers apparently are not in a position to pit billions against Nintendo. Can’t blame them either.

I mean, I support emulation fully, I believe that "it's always morally correct to pirate Nintendo", and I even believe that piracy is preservation, but come on. The Dolphin devs included the Wii keys, which was so incredibly stupid, probably one of the few completely brain dead actions that the Dolphin team has taken in the entirety of the emulator's history.


Using dolphin does not equal piracy.


I didn't say it did. I said that including decryption keys so brazenly was not a good idea. I also stated my views on the greater discussion at hand, which does include the topic of piracy, like it or not.


Equal, no. Shine a big spotlight and announce "piracy done simply here", yes.
