Nintendo Sues Popular Switch Emulator Yuzu Over Piracy Concerns
-
Nintendo filed a lawsuit against Yuzu, a popular Switch emulator, alleging it facilitates "piracy at a colossal scale".
-
Nintendo argues Yuzu violates the DMCA by enabling users to circumvent encryption protecting Switch games.
-
Yuzu doesn't include decryption keys itself, but provides detailed instructions on obtaining keys to play games.
-
Nintendo points to Yuzu's discord and telemetry showing developer awareness of widespread piracy.
-
The core legal issue is whether providing instructions for circumvention violates the DMCA, not emulation itself.
