Off topic but thinking out loud does anyone really care about stopping emulation and piracy at this point?
Efforts to stop it were laughable back in the 00s, but bandwidth and hardware made the larger files cumbersome and require effort to find.
All these years later it seems an odd host here and there goes to jail but it remains unimpeded and better than ever to emulate games before the PS3 era. Games past that point are difficult to emulate so that's a nonissue.
