With a single DMCA notice, Nintendo wiped out 4,238 emulator repos on the anniversary of the Yuzu lawsuit that made such takedowns easier.

A single DMCA anti-circumvention notice, sent by Nintendo on the one-year anniversary of its 2024 lawsuit against Yuzu, showed just how much things can change in a year. Targeting nine repos linked to Switch emulator Ryujinx, the domino effect led to the removal of 4,238 repos. Elsewhere, the distilled components of Yuzu’s demise can be found in recent takedown notices

    You can ignore a DMCA request. It’s not “do this or go to jail.” It’s a finger-wag that gives you a free out, where they can’t sue you if you do the thing. You can just… not… and then they’d have to go to the trouble of suing you. Which you can make difficult by being somewhere besides America and not giving a shit.

      Federation doesn’t allow you to ignore DMCAs, not hosting in the US does. Federation has absolutely no impact on DMCA’s functioning.
