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.

Would your comment be as sarcastic if you replaced cars with guns? Doubt it.

🤦

    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.

    Even putting pills in blister packs caused a statistically significant drop in OD suicides using OTC drugs.

    Turns out that many people just need a bit of resistance to stop them from implementing a permanent solution to a temporary situation.

    South Korea has no guns and people manage to jump off bridges just fine

    SK has a much higher suicide rate than the US, so maybe the underlying issue should be fixed instead of trying to impose higher barriers to people trying to kill themselves

    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."
