But this practical difference between piracy and romhacking is precisely what I and other people are basing their complaints on. So, I do not see any hypocrisy: I do not see anybody here discussing the CDR vs romhacking "problem" by saying that they are perfect and just.
It is just that we are already in a gray area with romhacking, which so happens in practice to barely survive take downs and companies suing, and we fear the connection with CDR could exacerbate this very delicate stability, which took us years to establish.
