Yuzu 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.

Yeah 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

[-] FluffyPotato@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

Yea, of course, but even if Nintendo wins the project survives that way.

Most 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

[-] FluffyPotato@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

That 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.
