  It doesn’t matter where you are. The company is based in the US, so they’re required to follow local law

      It would, it has, next step after DMCA even in the EU is legal action, which nintendo already fought in court. I don’t know about you but I’m not ready to defend someone else’s code in court.

      The EU tends to be much harsher in these matters, though some members don’t follow along.

      Again, why would it not fly in the EU?

        Emulation isn’t illegal, reversing encryption isn’t illegal, software patents aren’t valid in some countries.

        That’s why the US can’t do anything about VLC “breaking” DVD encryption, as they are based in France and aren’t doing anything wrong.

        Europeans actually care about their consumers.

        Americans just view them as fat paypigs who are too stupid to fight for their own interests.
