   @ezio @julia No, they're alleging that giving instructions for users to dump prod.keys themselves violates the anti circumvention measures of the DMCA. And they may actually be right about that, at least as the DMCA is currently understood.

     @ezio @julia If we're going by this standard, basically all emulators for current consoles (7th gen onwards, 8th gen for portables) become illegal

     @coolboymew @ezio @julia Anti circumvention under the DMCA is *very* strict, many of the things people commonly do are by the letter of the law illegal unless there is an explicit carveout and no such carveout for console emulators exists. Nintendo of course can legally do emulators themselves because they own the keys. The only hope I can see for a Yuzu victory is if the court rules that the keys are necessarily functional and thus can't reasonably be counted against the DMCA, which I don't see a snowballs chance in hell of happening.

     @allison @ezio @julia Wut? That sounds like a huge losing scenario for Nintendo
