the real answer re: yuzu and nintendo is that the DMCA must be destroyed and copyright in general is completely fucked.

as a practical example, remember steamboat willie? haha! disney character, finally out of copyright!

if you were born in the same year it came out, you would almost certainly be dead right now. 96 years old.

yeah, sure. it has had an immeasurable impact on culture and helped create one of the most powerful corporations in the world. but we can't allow you to share it freely, or make your own version of it.

shit is just so fuckin broke any more

in reply to @xkeeper's post:

afaik the dmca isn't actually relevant here, it seems uncontroversial that the compatibility exemption to it would cover emulators. there are exemptions specifically for software and video game preservation

if that was the case, the yuzu thing almost certainly would have gone nowhere, because yuzu itself (afaict) does not distribute the actual materials, just things that run it; you are on the hook for dumping your switch's keys and cartridges
