In the case of youtube, the content is being distributed with permission, the issue is whether the way that the material is being accessed is a concern. If youtube wanted to prevent these tools from accessing their site, they could do so (citing violation of their TOS), but use of these tools is not currently a crime under US Federal or State law (see previous message from me on this thread for more details). With "stolen ROMs", there is no permission being given to distribute these files. A tool which was hardwired to download these files might not be accessible. In Fedora, we do not permit emulators which depend on such ROMs to function, and do not allow emulators to assist people in downloading such ROMs. hth, ~tom _______________________________________________ legal mailing list -- legal@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to legal-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/legal@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/message/37UBTFBO4QDLL6JI43OHSP3BZAAM2UE6/
