As long as you don't have control on which files are stored on the machine, they'll need to sue the IPFS protocol inventors, good luck with that. I the meanwhile, let's just have fun and leave these dark thought behind ^_^

You seem confused. This is (fortunately!) still not how law works in either theory or practice anywhere I am aware.

Besides, the IPFS operator/client is always in full control by design. IPFS is not a darknet. You may be confusing it with Hyphanet or Freenet.

Eh, Nintendo doesn't need to be on the right in order to sue.

And has a long history of forcing defendants into awful settlements, through sheer power of being bigger than the target.

Refer to the story of the Yuzu and Citra emulators, for a recent example.
