| @sigmasquadron:matrix.org | you can’t ban a freely distributed project | 02:58:21 |

you can’t ban a freely distributed project not a particularly useful property if you can de facto ban its development | 03:54:36 |

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).
I think it depends on this. If yuzu is removing DRM, that's definitely illegal. If not, emulators as a whole are probably legal but not entirely clearly. IANAL but that's my understanding.

| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | And even if you can't stop people from doing illegal things, you sure can crack down on and crush the individuals doing the bulk of the legwork | 05:18:11 |

 @sr.estegosaurio:matrix.org | I really hope they loose. | 13:43:34 |
| @sr.estegosaurio:matrix.org | They complete jerks when it comes to copyright. | 13:46:24 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | well, again, I really think it's just going to come down to whether yuzu is actually doing drm removal. Because that's blatantly illegal in the US, and that's what they're accusing them of. If they're not, it should be a nothing-suit. Albeit one that could cost a lot of money for someone | 14:10:46 |

every emulator for any console more recent than the Nintendo GameCube is "removing DRM" for some definition of "removing DRM", the problem is there's on precedent for how broad "removing DRM" should be and the law is written in the broadest of way with the expectation that the Librarian of Congress sets reasonable expectations | 15:57:49 |
