Sounds similar to Nintendo dmca takedowns. You could challenge the defamation claim in court and win, but you would have to spend a lot of money and time, and the only thing you get back in the end is the right to post the review.

How is that remotely similar? DMCA is about IP law.

You could challenge the *DCMA* claim in court and win, but you would have to spend a lot of money and time, and the only thing you get back in the end is the right to post the *code to Github*.

The answer is you stay clear of US law jurisdictions and post your code to gitflic.ru

Its where the DRM bypass software lives these days, along with Bypass Paywalls Clean.

I've been on the internet for a long time, and it still surprises me that people willingly post emulator code next to their real names on Github.

There's nothing illegal about emulation, IP theft is illegal. 99%+ of emulator projects are totally legal except in insanely corrupt countries.

> IP theft is illegal

For the plebes, it is a civil tort.

For the AI companies, its required for "training". Rules dont apply to too-large-to-fail professional for-profit pirates.

But damn you if you try to make a Netflix-clone with every video. Wew.
