Nintendo sent a Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) notice for over 8,000 GitHub repositories hosting code from the Yuzu Switch emulator, which the Zelda maker previously described as enabling “piracy at a colossal scale.”

WTF - Rest in peace… I hope no one has to pay any legal fees. Wish you all the best!

    Still a lawyer doing it. If everyone ads a repo every day, they would waste a lot of funds on fighting against windmills.

      You don’t need a lawyer to file a DMCA request. You just need to be ready to get one if someone disputes it.

      And Nintendo almost definitely have lawyers on retainer, if not in house. The added cost of this is the effort it takes to search github for “uzu” and send an email.
