I wonder how many of those who actually did the work imagined it would turn out like this.
"Intellectual Property" is anti-market and anti-human flourishing.
quoting🚨🇯🇵 Nintendo targets more than 400 Switch emulator repositories in massive GitHub sweep
nevent1q…tq9z
Nintendo filed seven DMCA anti-circumvention notices in a single day targeting Switch emulator projects and their forks.
The largest action hit Suyu, a Yuzu successor, with GitHub processing the notice against an entire network of 311 repositories.
Other targets included:
• 29 Skyline repositories
• Multiple Yuzu forks and Android ports
• 17 MonoNX forks
• Yuzu Early Access mirrors
Nintendo argues the emulators circumvent its technological protection measures by using unauthorized cryptographic keys to decrypt Switch games.
Most of the targeted repositories are now offline. Some of the code had already survived previous shutdowns through forks, mirrors, and revived projects, meaning keeping it offline may prove harder than removing it.
