minus-squareFluffyPotato@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up20·5 months agoYuzu is open source though so can’t people who don’t live in the US just fork it? Copyright laws are a lot for lax outside the US.
minus-squarephx@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·5 months agoYeah but if the primary maintainers are in the US it’ll take a bit before a new group can really work on it in a productive manner
minus-squareFluffyPotato@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·5 months agoYea, of course, but even if Nintendo wins the project survives that way.
minus-squareOsrsNeedsF2P@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·5 months agoMost countries mimic US laws on copyright. It doesn’t help that Yuzu was in the US, but virtually no country is safe if Nintendo tries hard enough
minus-squareFluffyPotato@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·5 months agoThat is absolutely not the case. Even in the EU there are only a few countries where the copyright laws are close to that strict but none with laws as strict.
