Yesterday I posted a Polygon article about a guy being sued by Nintendo after he deliberately provoked them by sending them taunting letters after he got several accounts suspended on several different platforms for streaming pirated Nintendo games on emulators.
I mainly posted the news to just marvel at a guy just deliberately setting himself up to get his life destroyed by Nintendo’s legal team for no apparent benefit, but there’s an element to the suit I didn’t notice.
Apparently one of the things Nintendo is suing him for is using Switch emulators and they’re dusting off their legal arguments from the Yuzu case earlier this year, ie, all that shit about circumventing their TPMs violating the DMCA. If this goes to court Nintendo could get the legal precedent for making emulation illegal they didn’t get from the Yuzu case since they settled
VERY COOL
tin foil hat time: nintendo, through bribes or blackmail, got the guy to do all that so they could set the precedent.
I found a YouTube link in your post. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
