What Hacker News says

[name redacted], why do you keep submitting this on a new repository after Nintendo takes your old repository down (see https://github.com/github/dmca/blob/master/2015-07-06-ninten...)? This is the 4th time you've submitted this to Hacker News, each time with brand new Hacker News and GitHub accounts. (The OP created his latest Hacker News account 4 hours ago at the time of this comment) It's illegal, so no matter how many times you keep re-uploading it to GitHub it will eventually be taken down again and again. The more you defy Nintendo's DMCA takedown requests, the more likely Nintendo will notice and possibly try to track you down and sue you in person. I understand that you want to show off your legal work (https://github.com/taisel/IodineGBA), but the only way to show it off is to require users to provide their own ROMs. More proof

that this is the same poster: https://github.com/playnintendo/gba/commit/e429bacd4d5fef715... He forgot to change "jsemu" to "playnintendo" before re-uploading his repository to GitHub.

No, it doesn't. Where in IodineGBA do you see any hand-written asm.js code? Here's are some quotes from the author of that very library: "asm.js requires a style of coding only compilers can output. A person writing actual asm.js code by hand would need to be insane as asm.js code required style of coding is horribly disorganized"[1] "Unfortunately asm.js requires one giant array to put things on. No one in their right mind codes like that by hand."[2] 1: https://github.com/taisel/IodineGBA/issues/16#issuecomment-2... 2: https://github.com/taisel/IodineGBA/issues/16#issuecomment-2...
