    That guide also includes links to a number of external tools that directly break console and/or game encryption techniques.

    We’ve been over this already. Homebrew tools are completely legal under section 107.

    Under the fair use doctrine in Section 107, modifying your own legally purchased console hardware and running homebrew software for personal, non-commercial use has been considered a lawful fair use in certain legal precedents, even if it requires circumventing the console’s technological protection measures (TPMs) as its considered non-profit, educational or transformative use, as described in the fair use doctrine of Section 107.

    They distributed tools…. Which is what you just claimed they didn’t do, I appreciate you providing the source that shoots your own foot though.

    No they didn’t, they provided links to 3rd party homebrew tools which in themselves are again protected by section 107.

    This is entirely irrelevant to your claim that they provided encryption keys.

    The key they used was acquired illegally,

    Proof?

    they provided means for you to acquire your own illegally,

    No, they again provided a guide on how to homebrew your own console and dump your own key legally. Which yet again is covered by section 107.

    they tested with illegal Roms,

    Again, Proof?

    they profited from it,

    No. They profited from beta releases of their legal emulation software, which is legal, there’s many legal for profit emulators that exists and infact most of the precedence set for emulators are set by for-profit emulators, which yet again are protected under section 107.

    etc you’re ignoring all of these in favor of what…? Exactly…? That it doesn’t somehow matter…? What…?

    I’m not ignoring anything, you repeatedly ignored me when I asked you to provide proof, multiple times now.
