Ok, so maybe i'm misinformed.
On the download page for the vbga emu, it says 'created by Marat Fayzullin'. From what i understand, he's been doing emu's for a long time and for lots of platforms. There seems to be no connection to nokia
So even if the emu is illegal (which it can't be, because it imitates un-patentable algorithms, not hardware), why is nokia sued? They can't be held responsible for 3rd party apps, even if they do distribute them

Sure? They seem be gone from Extras-devel but they are there yet from Extras:

Nevertheless Nokia inadvertently promoted their device by using copyrighted material from Nintendo. Inadvertently because I don't think it was a deliberate corporate decision to make such a video, but since conversations.nokia.com is Nokia's official blog and those who write there are either Nokia employees or get paid by Nokia, Nokia might be responsible. For example you can't just take a song from some artist and promote your product without asking for permission to use said song.

The emulator video is marked private and unaccessible.

But the packages were really there in that time, it wasn't my cache (mainly because I haven't cached those URLs).
