Nintendo Blocks Dolphin Emulator Release on Steam.

Nintendo has blocked the Steam release of Dolphin, an open-source emulator for the Wii and GameCube, citing DMCA. The action was taken after Dolphin announced plans for a Steam launch in March. The reason behind the move is said to be Dolphin's distribution of the Wii AES-128 disc encryption, which has the Wii's "common key" embedded in its source code. Dolphin's creators have no legal recourse to push back, leaving them at the mercy of Valve, who removed Dolphin from Steam until the matter is settled.
