I'm just going over possible reasons why others are sued even if they can win in court or not. In a lot if not all of the cases some form money was being earned by the projects this combined with other incidents like showing the pirates games are just more evidence for them to discuss in court.

⁠@@chris_php I can tell you this, the “damages” that can be quantified in terms of money makes a WORLD of a difference when it comes to copyright infringement. Quick example: Nintendo made a debug ROM that tested the hardware of the SNES and used Disney’s “When You Wish Upon a Star” to measure its audio capabilities. If Disney sued Nintendo, a judge may declare that Nintendo violated Disney’s copyright ownership, but won’t rule in Disney’s favor since they can’t prove there was any money made on Nintendo’s part or sales lost on Disney’s. Likewise, when Sony tried suing the makers of a PS1 emulator for Macintosh computers, the appellate court ruled that while the developers _technically_ violated their copyright of the PlayStation’s BIOS by copying and pasting it, and that the creation of this emulator has likely resulted in lost sales, the developers of the emulator were considered to be “a legitimate competitor” to Sony’s PlayStation in the market and copyright law wasn’t intended on being abused to shut down business rivals. For Yuzu, I think what I listed above shows the arguments in favor of the Yuzu team, but the “piracy” association with Yuzu was the best ammunition Nintendo had against Yuzu specifically more than any other emulator out there; even more than Ryujinx. Because another very important part of the assessment involves the judge trying to figure out the _intentions_ behind the alleged copyright violations, which means that if Nintendo can convince the judge that Yuzu is a criminal organization that’s trying to run a global blackmarket piracy scheme to forever ruin Nintendo’s business, then the judge will _not_ be merciful to the Yuzu team to say the least, and they’d likely have injunctive relief and punitive damages calculated against their favor if the court brands them as being the makers of piracy tools.

Bleem also ran on PC

Yuzu was selling a version of the emulator through donations tho same as citra but anyway I have yuzu backed up and the source code

@@ChrisTheCasual all citra versions are free, what are you talking about? there is only canary and nightly which are both free.

@@ricardowilliams3765 citra was created by the same team as yuzu tho it was collateral damage bro

Entirely possible for Nintendo to still sue ryujinx but ryujinx is from Brazil where Nintendo does not have an office in.

What a classic show
