"Nintendo's Legal Battle: Emulator Makers Accused of Massive Piracy"

TL;DR Summary
Nintendo has filed a lawsuit against the makers of the Yuzu emulator, alleging that the emulator enables users to play pirated copies of Nintendo Switch games. The lawsuit argues that using Yuzu to play games on platforms other than the Switch is forbidden, and that the majority of Yuzu users are using it to play downloaded pirated games. However, potential defenses for the emulator maker include the ability to run homebrew Nintendo Switch games and the legality of making personal archival copies of legitimately purchased software. The case raises questions about the extent of Nintendo's control over how its games are used and accessed.
