Look for yourself, they used someone else’s code, it’s technically not illegal according to the CLA of GitHub , but that’s not relevant to DCMA. It requires them to reverse engineer the code for an emulator, which they didn’t do.
The dev provided the means in discord themselves, they also had a google drive with a ripped key, they also had files on discord of roms to test their gamesc which were acquired illegally.
Please tell me what they did right to claim game preservation…?
The fact that it didn’t go to discovery when other cases have is damning in itself, and you want it in your court? Okay….
It has nothing to do with some made up CLA that GitHub doesn’t even have ರ_ರ , it’s a matter of the license the project is under. Which is open source, e.g. GPL, Apache, MIT, etc. all of which doesn’t prevent the use of the code in other open source projects, especially when consent was already given before hand.
…but that’s not relevant to DCMA.
You bet your ass it isn’t, because the code from Ryujinx doesn’t infringe on Nintendo copyright either.
DCMA
It’s DMCA.
… It requires them to reverse engineer the code for an emulator, which they didn’t do.
How the shit do you think emulators are created without reverse engineering? You can’t be serious.
Please tell me what they did right to claim game preservation…?
They used clean room reverse engineering which is a form of independent creation and already has decades of precedent in its favor.
