Comment on Nintendo has DMCA’ed Sudachi’s GitHub
Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 2 months agoThe only way to truly win this fight is for the devs to face potentially life-ruining circumstances to fight it in court
So you’re saying we release lions in the courtroom?
…oh wait, life-RUINING. Hmm… Including their browser histories in discovery?
I still don’t see how punishing the already victimized helpers is supposed to solve anything…

Why are you being so obtuse? Yes, the repercussions for losing to Nintendo in court are life-ruining. I said that already.
However, continuing to let Nintendo DMCA legitimate emulation projects isn’t good in the long-term either and only stalls progress for the targeted projects.
The only way to “win” this fight is to win in court. I’m not saying that any dev should be compelled against their will to do so. It’s just the only way to actually make progress. This isn’t a technical problem; it’s a legal one.
