Dolphin won't be coming back to Steam.

on r/smashbros, for example, the Reddit wrote:"I'm a programmer myself and Dolphin unfortunately used illegal numbers in their software. The Dolphin team should be lucky that only the Steam version was taken down and not the source code itself."

In today's blog post, the Dolphin developers deny that including the Wii Common Key in the emulator violates the anti-circumvention provisions of the DMCA, which forbids technology that"is primarily designed or produced for the purpose of circumventing a technological measure that effectively controls access to a work protected under this title."

"Considering that only a small fraction of what we do involves circumvention, we think that the claim that we are 'primarily for circumvention' is a reach," says the Dolphin team."We do not believe this angle would be successful in a US courtroom, if it were ever to come to that.

"We do not believe that Dolphin is in any legal danger," the post concludes. Planned features for the Steam release of Dolphin, including a"Big Picture" UI with controller support, will still be finished and made available in the emulator in the coming months.Sign up to get the best content of the week, and great gaming deals, as picked by the editors.
