Judge is secretly a homebrew user confirmed.

No big deal. Homebrew is legal. Correct me if I'm wrong.

 

Some of the programs and games these people make is simply amazing.

DS homebrew also grants you a proper MP3 player instead of the wannabe crap the DSi grants.

 

My DS has been playing MP3's properly for years now.

homebrew is not legal. Any device or mechanism that bypasses DRM is illegal in the US. Maybe it is legal in other countries, but in the US you can't.

 

Homebrew is legal as are flash carts. And most of the world lives outside the US.

The problem is that the device itself is not illegal. “It’s the purposes that people use it for that’s often illegal,” says Rob Saunders, a spokesman for Nintendo UK.

While most may not live in the US, Euphoria lives in the US, so that's great that you are providing proof for the UK. Homebrew would be legal in the US if it didn't also circumvent the DRM mechanism put in place.
