Those are your own words. Unfortunately for you, Nintendo still lost. GPLv3 is a tweaked Copyright licensing agreement aptly nicknamed "Copyleft" with strict rights, Nintendo will never be able to kill the Hydra no matter what. They actually need to win to change the law, but they settled instead meaning section 107 of the DMCA, 1998 US copyright law goes unaltered and the original developers move on, and the community builds on top and alter the project, as per the rights granted by GPLv3. Perhaps a project that'd reach enough funding fast enough to challenge Nintendo may go for it, till then GPLv3 is a sleeping multi-headed dragon Nintendo hasn't been able to stomp out.
Just because a license says something, doesnât mean that it can go against laws and legislations or anything else like that lmfao.
Just like a landlord having a contract from you saying X or Y, if it goes against the law, it doesnât protect them.
All of those subsequent ones will be fine from prosecution, until they start doing what yuzu did like making money, providing means to pirate and access to keys and guides. The protection is only going to last so long until the current loopholes are closed.
Or just donât do illegal shit and you can stay in operation, Cistra and Yuzu were fine for a decade, than they went too far and fucked up.
You can scream all you want, the facts donât care about when your âcompanyâ crosses the line and your probably legal project gets taken with it.
To bad, GPLv3 already has all the precedence and legal backing needed to keep going, Suyu lives, I wonder what the project will be renamed to next? đ
And suyu will continue to live until they do what yuzu did and try to profit and do things illegally.

There's no need to profit from it anymore, donations exist, Nintendo created a Streisand effect.
Emulators are fine for personal use, if you are accepting donations, itâs no longer for personal use and youâve done your illegal actionâŚ..
Why do you think the ones that donât accept donations arenât being targetedâŚ? Because they are currently in a gray area. Once you start doing illegal actions⌠they get taken out.
That's factually incorrect. They've gone after Dolphin whom explicitly don't accept donations. Then there's, Ryujinx, Cemu, Libretro/RetroArch, emuDeck, etc. that accept donations. This again comes down to the GPLv3 which doesn't restrict the selling of binaries of the legal code nor restrict donations. Infact if one is only accepting donations, your company by U.S. copyright law are a nonprofit.
uhh⌠Dolphin uses the Wii key, thatâs what they did wrong⌠each one has done an illegal activity that has lead to them being pursued.
Its really not a hard concept to try and grasp here, sorry.
Nothing about my previous comment is âfactuallyâ incorrect. Which specific part do you think I was wrong about, and provide a source to disclaim it if you want to try and make a point.
A lot of those apps are actual âdonationsâ as well, not a patreon with locked emulator contentâŚ. If you canât comprehend the differences of whatâs being done, why the fuck are you discussing?
GPL has nothing to with donations⌠thatâs what makes the emulator defense invalid for copyright, youâre only protected for personal use. Can you please stop conflating these very simple thingsâŚâŚ?
Then why hasn't Nintendo fallowed through and killed Dolphin yet? If it's illegal, then why haven't they continued trying to sue Dolphin?
Because they are fighting it instead of rolling over like YuzuâŚ.?
Why are we going back over the same shit again? If you donât have anything more to try and defend Yuzu who fucked up, are we doneâŚ?
Again, factually wrong. Dolphin removed itself off the steam store to satisfy Nintendo, however it's still on the Google play store and Apple app store and actively developed so why doesn't Nintendo keep coming?
Also, Churches are non-profit, KDE Community are non-profit, Gnome is non-profit, FSF is non-profit, and so on. All of which collect donations. What makes an emulator start-up company any different in this regard?
You have no clue how the GPLv3 works, nor U.S. Copyright law. Please stop pretending like you do.
