      Not if you “fork” it locally by doing git clone --mirror and doing git push newOrigin --mirror 😉

        And refactor the code a bit to be on the safe side - change the name of the project and remove any references to litigious companies. And use an anonymous handle + VPN/proxy chains so they can’t sue you.

        Honestly it boggles my mind that devs contribute to emulators like these using identifiable names and traceable IPs, when everyone knows how these greedy corporations operate. Did no one learn anything from the Sony vs Geohotz case, or all the subsequent takedown against emulators? Why do these devs keep falling into the same trap again and again?

      Not if you fork locally or outside Github.

      Surprise! Yes, there’s lots more Git outside Github. As one commenter said, Github is to Git what Pornhub is to porn.
