It's enough to get their lawyers after you and cost you a ton of money in legal costs to fight even if the legality behind it may be dubious. I'd say the recent Nintendo filing against Yuzu is a similar case for comparison.
Is Yuzu liable for piracy because they create an emulator and create guides on how to get licensed games working on it? Who knows. Could Nintendo throw lawyers at them endlessly until they submit, or even set a terrible precedent if Yuzu lost? Definitely. Which is why Yuzu just settled it, which in effect lets Nintendo win through their dubious claims.
- pplante 3y agoYuzu ran a private discord that was allegedly full of piracy activity. They didn't moderate it. Writing an emulator isn't illegal, nor would gate keeping features. Allowing piracy to happen in your paid for channel might make you more complicit/responsible.
- Zambyte 3y agoLegally it seems like Discord should be liable for moderating their servers, not some poor schmuck who clicked "create group".
