    You’re asking the wrong question.
    The question is where was the lawsuit filed?

    “Nintendo of America filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court, District of Rhode Island, against Tropic Haze LLC, the developer of the “Yuzu” emulator.”

      Huh, so it IS an llc and he would be personally liable for any illegal activities his company did…. Even if he did nothing wrong himself……

      Wow. You couldn’t have provided a worse piece of evidence against your crusade than that…

        His “company” so excluding random ass users and 3rd party contributors. US copyright law is based on precedence. I’m sure you’re aware of the list. Also, check out GPLv3 while you’re at it.

          If I have weapons cache of guns and “accidentally” leave the door unlocked, would I not be liable if they found that out? Yes, this is the exact same situation, they left their door unlocked and could have done something to prevent this from happening. They didn’t, so they are complicit. It’s not just about copyright, why are you sticking to this like it’s some smoking gun or something….?

          Theres plenty of precedence going both ways, you just have to look at the correct way for it to click in your head.

          The companies actions or negligence, provided means, as described above, there’s plenty of precedence where you will be liable. Sorry this doesn’t fit with your head bias, but facts don’t care.

              The only facts you’ve provided have gone against your crusade.

              So… yeah you’re kinda missing the point if you think you’ve provided any facts and it’s ironic that I can’t see my head bias. What bias? I’ve given you the facts lmfao.

              And instead of moving the goalposts, we move to insulting when proven wrong, what a fucking shocker….

                Those are your own words. Unfortunately for you, Nintendo still lost. GPLv3 is a tweaked Copyright licensing agreement aptly nicknamed “Copyleft” with strict rights, Nintendo will never be able to kill the Hydra no matter what. They actually need to win to change the law, but they settled instead meaning section 107 of the DMCA, 1998 US copyright law goes unaltered and the original developers move on, and the community builds on top and alter the project, as per the rights granted by GPLv3. Perhaps a project that’d reach enough funding fast enough to challenge Nintendo may go for it, till then GPLv3 is a sleeping multi-headed dragon Nintendo hasn’t been able to stomp out.

                  Just because a license says something, doesn’t mean that it can go against laws and legislations or anything else like that lmfao.

                  Just like a landlord having a contract from you saying X or Y, if it goes against the law, it doesn’t protect them.

                  All of those subsequent ones will be fine from prosecution, until they start doing what yuzu did like making money, providing means to pirate and access to keys and guides. The protection is only going to last so long until the current loopholes are closed.

                  Or just don’t do illegal shit and you can stay in operation, Cistra and Yuzu were fine for a decade, than they went too far and fucked up.

                  You can scream all you want, the facts don’t care about when your “company” crosses the line and your probably legal project gets taken with it.

                    To bad, GPLv3 already has all the precedence and legal backing needed to keep going, Suyu lives, I wonder what the project will be renamed to next? 😏
