Nintendo is one of the worst companies that always want to set an “example” about the DMCA. They don’t realize they are fighting a battle they cannot win. Emulators are perfectly legal as long as the emulators don’t contain any code that was in ownership from them.
That being said, I’m betting some of those forks were following the DMCA but Nintendo still shut them down. This is where copyright needs to be reevaluated.
I’m honestly not surprised they haven’t gone after dolphin emulator since those devs contain the encryption keys to play the iso files.
So, I agree with your general points, but I think part of the reason Nintendo is so harsh towards Yuzu is because, as far as I’m aware, Yuzu does actually contain proprietary code from Nintendo.
My understanding is that the Yuzu team used a Switch development kit instead of reverse engineering the Switch as they had claimed, so the entire code is essentially tainted because it’s unclear which parts came from the development kit and which parts came from true reverse engineering

Broken magnet link
Added a new link.
Last time I tried adding the torrent the magnet of OP also failed me. Dunno if it has to do with the client or aomething.There’s a smiley at the end of the magnet. Remove that and it works
Did not get a e-mail but my fork is gone. That can’t be legal can it? I’m in the EU.
It doesn’t matter where you are. The company is based in the US, so they’re required to follow local law
I was one of them. Got the email from GitHub yesterday around noon. Took them long enough
So did they DMCA Garry’s Mod or was that really Aaron Peters?
