Again, why would it not fly in the EU?
Emulation isn't illegal, reversing encryption isn't illegal, software patents aren't valid in some countries.
That's for example why the US can't do anything about VLC "breaking" DVD encryption, as they are based in France and aren't doing anything wrong.
Europeans actually care about their consumers.
Americans just view them as fat paypigs who are too stupid to fight for their own interests.
