I think dumping your game cartridges is legal, otherwise you couldn't emulate games legally.

Since when did cartridge games have EULAs?

Also: in sane countries (i.e: not the so-called US), EULAs don't overwrite civil laws.

The only dangersis when DRM is circumvented.

so-called US

I know what you mean but it’s funny to question what a country has named itself.

The people of the continent called it "turtle island". European occupiers called it the "US".

The Country is not the Continent.

Sure, the singular cultural/political/religious "those people".

The Country is not the Continent.

I still don't want to give the country the satisfaction.

Sure, the singular cultural/political/religious "those people".

AFAIK, the name is quite consentually agreed upon by the first nations from the continent.
