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.

        It doesn’t. But code becomes p2p with no one organizer.

      Do you know about Radicle ? It’s not federated but distributed and darknet based
