The reason might be that you are being a complete hypocrite?
I would be an hypocrite if I pretended that I care.
Not from anybody else's standing point.

Not from your standing point you mean. It is not very polite to talk for other people.
I don't really care about your standing point anyway.
Discussion is over for me. Goodbye

Problem is that was before DMCA. New law can override judicial precedent.
First, no it wasn’t. Second, the DMCA has nothing in it that explicitly targets emulators. Now what some hardware makers have done is include some kind of cryptography and called it an anti-circumvention method, but that is a later phenomenon and the earlier attempts at this didn’t amount to much in most cases. Third, the Yuzu Devs brought the wrath of Nintendo of America down upon them through means other than merel…
You're right, I was confusing it with Sega v. Accolade.

Well it's not a great look for you to be selfish either, but I guess I'm the one at fault for being "impolite".

Yes, but how does that apply to the Nintendo Switch and Yuzu. Did they actually extract the AES key from real hardware and include it in the emulator?
Nintendo's argument in the filing was that it effectively did, as the website instructed people on how to extract the keys, and that the software did real time decryption for which there was no legitimate source of keys. That didn't get tested in court, but I suspect it would have succeeded (this is not legal advice).
So, the emulator did not contain the key but it made it easy to use one if you had one? Is that a suitable description?
How useful would the emulator without the key be? I guess you could still write and play (and share) your own software. Is that what people call "homebrew" in the Nintendo Switch context?
