Subject: Snes9x.COM has been taken offline by Nintendo !
Date: Fri, 21 May 1999 22:25:56 +0200

I just wanted to let everybody know what has happend to Snes9X.COM.
According to my host they have shutdown the site because it has illegal
content, after contacting my host, they have answered that they have taken 
offline my site because they have gotten an email from nintendo stating
that emulators are illegal. They are not allowing me access to the site,
so until a new host is found, the site is offline ! What Nintendo has mailed
to my host is unknown.

The only thing I know is that Nintendo was referring to the following page:

http://www.nintendo.com/corp/faqs/legal.html
 
Where they clearly state that their policy is that emulators are illegal, 
and thus Snes9x is illegal. They probably won't sue me directly since 
I live in The Netherlands and chances are that they would never be able 
to win the case !
 
I will keep you informed of the situation of Snes9x,
