Nintendo Takedown Request Targets Over 8,500 Copies of Switch Emulator Yuzu
https://reurl.cc/WxqdKe
Nintendo has issued a takedown request for more than 8,500 copies of code of
Switch emulator Yuzu, which was shut down in March 2024 as its owners paid
out $2.4 million in a lawsuit settlement.
任天堂已向Switch模擬器Yuzu的8,500多份程式碼發出刪除請求,該模擬器於2024年3月
關閉,因為其所有者在訴訟和解中支付了240萬美元。
As reported by PC Gamer, developer platform GitHub saw 8,535 repositories of
Yuzu code removed after Nintendo issued the takedown request on April 29.
Users of the website had uploaded copies of the code after Yuzu was shut
down, essentially allowing continued free access to Nintendo Switch games
using software that "is primarily designed to and unlawfully circumvent a
technological measure that effectively controls access to a work protected
under the DMCA," according to Nintendo.
"The reported repositories offer and provide access to the Yuzu emulator or
code based on the Yuzu emulator," the claim said. "Yuzu illegally circumvents
Nintendo’s technological protection measures and runs illegal copies of
Nintendo Switch games."
This echoed wording Nintendo used when it sued Yuzu creator Tropic Haze, when
it also said the $70 game The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom,
Nintendo's premiere video game release of 2023, had been pirated one million
times before it was even released.
這與任天堂起訴Yuzu創作者 Tropic Haze時使用的措辭相呼應,當時任天堂也表示,
任天堂2023年推出的首款電玩遊戲、售價70美元的遊戲《薩爾達傳說:王國之淚》在
發行之前就已經被盜版了100萬次。
Nintendo has consistently taken legal action to protect its copyrighted
content. Game file sharing website RomUniverse was ordered to pay $2.1
million in damages to Nintendo in 2021, while a similar case saw it receive
more than $12 million in damages in 2018. It also blocked GameCube and Wii
emulator Dolphin from releasing on PC game platform Steam.
任天堂一直採取法律行動來保護其受版權保護的內容。遊戲檔案分享網站RomUniverse在
2021年被命令向任天堂支付210萬美元的賠償金,而在2018年的類似案件中,它獲得了
超過1200萬美元的賠償金。它還阻止了GameCube和Wii模擬器Dolphin在PC遊戲平台Steam
上發布。
