Nintendo of Japan doesn’t file lawsuits against DS emulators either. Sony is a Japanese company; they sued Bleem and lost but that was more than 20 years ago. There are emulators for PS3, PS Vita, and PS4 - all platforms for which Sony still hosts network infrastructure and operates digital storefronts - and AFAIK none of them have been subject to legal threats.





I’m not familiar with Plasticman, but all the rom site lawsuits that I know about from the past several years involved sites that were either charging money or running ads to make money from pirate downloads. I could be mistaken on that front.
