"# Legality\n\n"
+ "---\n\n"
+ "## Overview\n"
+ "Emulators themselves are **legal**, as long as you use them with **legally dumped copies** of games **you** own, "
+ "or with **homebrew software**.\n\n"
+ "Read about the landmark case [**Sony v. Bleem!** (2000)](https://www.copyright.gov/fair-use/summaries/sonycomputer-bleem-9thcir2000.pdf), "
+ "which helped set the precedent for emulation being legal. You can also watch "
+ "[this video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yj9Gk84jRiE) for more information.\n\n"
"## Legal Basis\n"
+ "According to the [**U.S. Copyright Act**](https://www.copyright.gov/title17/92chap1.html#117) "
+ "(the law under which Discord operates), you **must own a legal copy** of any game you play on **MeloNX**.\n\n"
+ "- Downloading games you do not own is considered **piracy** and is **illegal**.\n"
+ "- Even if another copy is identical, it still belongs to someone else, you are **not entitled** to it.\n\n"
+ "## Our Stance on Piracy\n"
+ "We **do not support piracy**. Doing so would give Nintendo legal grounds to take us down.\n"
+ "And yes — **Nintendo is aware of MeloNX's existence.**\n\n"
+ "We are not required to monitor user behavior, but we **strongly encourage** everyone to use only **legally obtained copies** of games.\n\n"
+ "## Enforcement\n"
+ "If you are found using pirated games with MeloNX, you will be **banned** from this Discord server **without warning**.\n\n"
+ "## Final Note\n"
+ "Thank you for understanding and respecting the hard work that went into creating both the emulator MeloNX is built on, "
+ "and **MeloNX itself.**"
