  • The suyu devs do not understand the legalities behind why yuzu was shut down. It wasn’t because of keys. It was because it could break copyright protection mechanisms, which is in violation of the dmca.

    The suyu devs think that by saying, “we don’t support piracy, you have to provide your own keys” is enough, and there’s case law to show it isn’t. Your project needs to be incapable of breaking copyright protection mechanisms with or without keys.







  • I’m gonna just preface this by saying Nintendo suck and I don’t agree with what they are doing.

    But it’s worth understanding what is happening here, nintendo isn’t just throwing random legalize against the wall to find something that sticks. They are specifically going after yuzu via a fairly well tested part of the DMCA.

    The DMCA allows them this, and if you don’t feel like nintendo or anyone else should get to dictate what device you play the games you own on, you should be looking into whatever you can do to pressure your representatives to add to the many exceptions of that dmca clause for this purpose.
