Nintendo issues DMCA to GitHub for hosting 8,500+ Yuzu clones

By now, you’re more than likely aware of the end of Yuzu, a Nintendo Switch emulator, due to a lawsuit from Nintendo themselves. It has been almost 2 months since the Yuzu developers and Nintendo reached a settlement shortly after the lawsuit was made public. However, even though Yuzu’s development is over, Nintendo is not finished with the emulator just yet.

It seems that Nintendo wants Yuzu to be gone completely. They have issued a DMCA notice to GitHub, where Nintendo is requesting the take-down of 8,535 Yuzu clones, forks, mirrors and more. The number comes straight from GitHub’s notice of Nintendo’s DMCA take-down request. They said that “because the reported network that contained the allegedly infringing content was larger than one hundred (100) repositories, and the submitter alleged that all or most of the forks were infringing to the same extent as the parent repository, GitHub processed the take-down notice against the entire network of 8,535 repositories, inclusive of the parent repository”.
