    yuzu settled out of court, but the terms were basically yuzu giving up literally everything and never working on anything similar ever again and also paying nintendo 2.4 million dollars

    at least they don't owe nintendo all the money they make for the rest of their lives like happened with that other guy i suppose

      It's worse, actually. They must also argue to a judge that:

      Developing or distributing software, including Yuzu, that in its ordinary course functions only when cryptographic keys are integrated without authorization, violates the Digital Millennium Copyright Act’s prohibition on trafficking in devices that circumvent effective technological measures, because the software is primarily designed for the purpose of circumventing technological measures.

        The only good way this could end is if the NSAetc were forced to stop because of DMCA.
