C&Ds are generally just threats to take someone to court. They aren't themselves enforceable.

Even I can send C&Ds if I want but I don't have anything to back them up with. Nintendo on the other hand absolutely does.

By "enforceable," I meant, "the reasonable legal means to follow up".

So you wouldn't comply with Nintendo in a similar position?

I would, but I live in a country that cares about IP laws.

Well, I for sure wouldn't gamble my life for some emulator even if I lived in Brazil (Pretty sure it was Brazil).
