In what world is placating a business partner an admission of guilt?

  in our in many many ways but in this case it wouldn't be a legal admission of guild but it would be propagated as such by Nintendo if there ever is a legal case reducing the odds of winning such an hypothetical case The reason why Dolphin is legal is based on it being mainly a tool for playing old games you own and potentially with mods, accessibility tools and similar. So for Nintendo to win a case they would need to convince the judge that it's mainly meant for illegal copyright infringement. Their argument would likely be on the line of the Wii code without the ability to load legal Wii games is useless and having it would be really strange as you could only use it with illegal copies with the copy protection stripped. And stripping it is always illegal to do. So it would be designed for illegal usage. (And rare new games released that way but they would argue it doesn't matter in the grater picture). I.e. it would be easier for them to win a legal case against Dolphin without it having been an legal admittance of guild.
