hperrin, do games w Nintendo is suing the creators of Switch emulator Yuzu

The exceptions are handled by the Library of Congress and go through a renewal process every three years. Here’s the one from 2021:

www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/…/2021-23311.pdf

The accessibility use exception is on the last page, middle of the page, paragraph labeled 21.

It’s illegal to make something that’s sole purpose is to circumvent copyright. Yuzu does not have that sole purpose, and doesn’t include the code necessary (prod.keys) to even accomplish it.

I disagree that the DMCA makes AES libraries illegal.

Yes, so distributing the code necessary to perform the decryption is illegal. That’s why you have to hack an actual switch to get the code necessary to perform the decryption (prod.keys). All Yuzu is doing is running that code through an AES library to get the game and emulating a Switch to play it. You can’t make AES libraries illegal just because they can be used to decrypt copy protection.

It’s the same with DVD decryption. VLC is not illegal because it doesn’t include the codes used to decrypt DVDs. Once you have those codes, VLC can copy a DVD for you.

Can you point me to the provision you’re talking about?

hperrin, do games w Nintendo is suing the creators of Switch emulator Yuzu

That’s not how the DMCA works, or tons of other software would be illegal. It’s illegal to circumvent copy protection under the DMCA (something I wholeheartedly disagree with), but it’s not illegal to make something that can be used to circumvent copy protection.

In fact, there are exemptions to that provision and one of them states that circumventing copy protection in order to play a video game using assistive technologies is legal.

Yuzu is not infringing on their copyright, some of the users are. Sue the users.

It is not illegal to make copies of games you own and play them on an emulator. That is what was decided by the courts. Nintendo is trying to make that illegal.

They’re using the DMCA to say that because Yuzu lets someone circumvent their encryption (which is illegal, but shouldn’t be), that’s the same as Yuzu circumventing their encryption.

That’s basically like saying VLC should be illegal because it has the capability of copying a DVD.

Booo! Nintendo sucks! This was decided 30 years ago. Emulation is not illegal.

I even have a hard time killing the nazi dogs in Wolfenstein. It’s not his fault he’s a nazi dog. He’s just trying to be a good boy, and his owner is a fucking nazi.

My guess is it would look pretty similar, just without the “Mobile” block.

Fun fact: Venus and Mercury wouldn’t have phases if the earth were flat and the sun were small and close.

(At least, they wouldn’t have a “new” phase.)
