      Trouble is, in addition to it likely still being taken down, or you being sued still, that also means you can’t ask online for assistance in building it.

      These things are rarely one person working on it. They get the word out to find more modders who want to help.

      Releasing something anonymously is not going to prevent a company from getting the content removed from the web server. Hosting companies have to act according to local laws, and if a company can abuse this (like DMCA) then releasing stuff anonymously is not going to change anything

          If Nintendo would see it, they can still get it taken down. But I’ll concede that as long as it goes under the radar, there’s a chance for it to proliferate

          that’s really cool, with full source code too. also, archive.org is awesome, assuming that they didn’t get DMCA’d for hosting it, so assume Nintendo didn’t notice it there or just don’t really care

        I think the point is trying to get it out there, so people can share it once the original source is taken down. Doing it anonymously just prevents you from being sued.
