This article opens in a way that makes it sound like Nintendo's lawyers are the arbitors of what is and is not illegal and is therefore in desperate need of an edit.

Either way, I'm sure it's helpful to emulator makers to know what Nintendo is looking for when it decides to take action or not.

In that context, this is indeed an extremely useful article.
