New documents filed Monday, February 26 reveal that videogame giant Nintendo is taking action against the creators of the popular emulator tool Yuzu.
The copyright infringement filing, from Nintendo of America, states that the Yuzu tool (from developer Tropic Haze LLC) illegally circumvents the software encryption and copyright protection systems of Nintendo Switch titles, and thus facilitates piracy and infringes copyright under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).
Nintendo alleges that Tropic Haze’s free Yuzu emulator tool unlawfully allows pirated Switch games to be played on PCs and other devices, bypassing Nintendo’s protection measures.
The official Yuzu website suggests that the tool is to be used with software you yourself own: “You are legally required to dump your games from your Nintendo Switch” — but it’s common knowledge, that this is not how these tools are primarily used.
They should go one step further and ban the programming language as well the emulator was created in. That will show them!
Cars are used for driving around but some people use it for accidents and drunk driving! Ban cars!
🤦
I think @Fake4000@lemmy.world made a solid point here.
Nintendo goes after those that make money. That includes ROM sites too. For example, Nintendo didn’t sue Dolphin developers, they told Valve to take down their software. Please correct me if I am wrong.
I am not saying that Nintendo goes only after those that make money but maybe a money papertrail takes away the anonymousness of the internet. Bank accounts makes finding people a whole lot easier.
Would your comment be as sarcastic if you replaced cars with guns? Doubt it.
🤦
Eh… Guns are specifically made to kill something or make holes in it, so thats another thing.
And yet cars kill a lot more people than guns.
Not in the United States they don’t.

Only if you count suicides. The countries that don’t have guns still have suicides, so banning guns would not prevent those deaths.

That’s like if I was to say “only if you count fast cars. The countries that don’t have as many fast cars still have accidents, so speed limits should be universally abolished.”
Nintendo makes me want to emulate more and more
What are you playing on? I would play my switch more if the games weren’t so expensive.
This is why I will never buy a Nintendo console. I’m about to buy a Steam Deck… call me biased.
You’re biased.
