New documents filed Monday, February 26 reveal that videogame giant Nintendo is taking action against the creators of the popular emulator tool Yuzu.

The copyright infringement filing, from Nintendo of America, states that the Yuzu tool (from developer Tropic Haze LLC) illegally circumvents the software encryption and copyright protection systems of Nintendo Switch titles, and thus facilitates piracy and infringes copyright under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).

Nintendo alleges that Tropic Haze’s free Yuzu emulator tool unlawfully allows pirated Switch games to be played on PCs and other devices, bypassing Nintendo’s protection measures.

The official Yuzu website suggests that the tool is to be used with software you yourself own: “You are legally required to dump your games from your Nintendo Switch” — but it’s common knowledge, that this is not how these tools are primarily used.

    Well, actually its not true, if you don’t have access to stuff that kills you basically instantly many people would think a little more before doing that, maybe even go to a therapist.

      Even putting pills in blister packs caused a statistically significant drop in OD suicides using OTC drugs.

      Turns out that many people just need a bit of resistance to stop them from implementing a permanent solution to a temporary situation.

        Yeah,

        Get fired -> go to car shoot head

        Is a lot faster than

        Get fired -> Go home -> unpack 40 pills -> take them

        The unpacking makes you rethink your choice and most realize that the choice they are about to make is not a good one.

        If you cant have a gun in your car or by your side all the time the probability of a Short Closing Reaction is significantly lower.

      South Korea has no guns and people manage to jump off bridges just fine

      SK has a much higher suicide rate than the US, so maybe the underlying issue should be fixed instead of trying to impose higher barriers to people trying to kill themselves
