Hack-seller Gary Bowser says Nintendo can take 25% of his monthly income
Areading the lawsuit
AFACTUAL BACKGROUND shows theres some meat there
Alets see the counts
Areminds me of silk road by the way

Athe reason they got that dude is because he used his gmail to ask a stack overflow question
ALMAO
NAw dude, Snipperclips 2?
NI'm ready for Snipperclips 2: Super Turbo Tournament Championship Edition
Rjust wait
Aseems like yuzu is not even the topic of the lawsuit
Aits the fact that 1) yuzu can load encrypted roms, 2) the main developer ran his mouth and admitted to commiting intellectual crimes, 3) The yuzu developers bragged about being able to play prerelease games such as TOTK and games like pokemon on release
Aand for 3) that they did it behind a paywall for 2 weeks
Awhere at least for TOTK that lead to them doubling their patreon page
Kwithout a doubt #3 is a red herring
KBleem was a retail product on store shelves and sony lost, you're allowed to charge and that's not even what patreon is
Kthe others have merit
Aits actually not, its 90% of the thing
Aif you make money, they can pin stuff on you
Knever went to court, this entire argument is untested since it settled
KBleem proved you can charge for an emulator and it's legal, that's actually tested
Alike the reason bowser went to jail was because he made 30k or something
Kbut helping people pirate and writing software to circumvent DMCA have merit
Aor was it 130k?
Abecause they can then say, you made money of us losing money
Aand youre done
Kthat's exactly what sony tried to do with bleem tho, and lost
Ayeah but i think the case here is a bit stronger. In any case, yuzu would have 0 trouble if:
A- they didnt include decryption in yuzu itself and made you run a separate tool with 0 instructions on the main page of how
A- they banned games for the first week of release with a blocklist (where it might be trivial to bypass)
A- they didnt offer a patreon with early access builds that allowed those games to be played prior or close to release
Athats it
KI think #1 there is the future of emulation at this point
Tnintendo could have made more money if they ported their games to PC than suing yuzu
want to put that out there
want to put that out there
Kto avoid this whole thing
Klet another piece of software decrypt and focus on running
Arunning is like 97% of the work
Afrom what the lawsuit says, decoding is the trivial part
Alike i could code it in 2 days trivial
Aits 3 consecutive AES128 decriptions
Ayuzu using encrypted copies is nice because you dont have to worry about viruses sure
Abut its not worth going bankrupt over
Alike yuzu already supports loading unencrypted uncompressed games
Tnintendo is such a poor small company :( how could they recoup the loss!? oh wait they have an individual paying generational debt to them for as long as he lives and anyone who may be haunted by that debt in his potential bloodline
Ti have no sympathy for the devil
NI hate IP law in general, but that's a whole different can of worms to open 
Ai took a patents course
Ai like it, but yeah
