Nah but seriously I'd like your take on this. Buried? I'm confused.
Edit: ill defined property rights are leading to some people being mad at Wiiztec. I'd like properly defined property rights too. Not from you

unless you feel like it, I just wanted to put this in here.
Let me paint you a picture.
We currently are aware that the PMDT did not receive a C&D. But, they
did get legal counsel. Based on my understanding of the situation, it makes sense for within this legal counsel to be some sort of need to cease distribution/developer support that could potentially incriminate.
That would heavily imply that the big fear lies in what was actually going on with the dev build and taking the risk to post up characters like Lyn, Knuckles, etc. There is an implication that there's someone getting pissed off that might not necessarily be Nintendo if this direction was taken.
Gearing up like this is actually the best chance they have, especially now that the safeguard, which was withholding things that could potentially blow up in their face if they were found out, has been dropped because people believe they're doing something right.
I've already said in this exact thread that I'm incredibly uncomfortable with the fact that people are going to split the community even further with this kind of approach, but the particular component of lawyering up to begin with is an indication of why nondisclosure is the case.
