Emulation, the Law, and You ( + source list)
Added 2020-02-01 02:20:14 +0000 UTCThis video was meant to be something short and simple and it spiraled out of control due to the huge volume of contradictory information, but hopefully this is something vaguely resembling a few actual facts. Thanks again for supporting and watching!

Thanks for making these. These videos are very important but also made very entertaining as well.
