As I understand it, cause of the country the creator is from, a C&D was unlikely to be enforceable. Money, on the other hand, is a universal language.

C&D in Brazil stands for Comedy & Despair, where you're the one laughing at the company desperate to get you to do what they want without having any actual legal leverage

C&Ds are generally just threats to take someone to court. They aren't themselves enforceable.

Even I can send C&Ds if I want but I don't have anything to back them up with. Nintendo on the other hand absolutely does.

By "enforceable," I meant, "the reasonable legal means to follow up".

So you wouldn't comply with Nintendo in a similar position?

[–] iAmTheTot 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I would, but I live in a country that cares about IP laws.

Well, I for sure wouldn't gamble my life for some emulator even if I lived in Brazil (Pretty sure it was Brazil).

I think this is the more probable version of events.
