Are you saying console emulation is only used for breaking the law?

The DMCA says it's illegal to bypass DRM schemes based on encryption. Yuzu needs to do that to function. Therefore, Yuzu breaks the DMCA.

But, we'll see what the judge says.

Meanwhile, fair use is also a thing. I'm not real clear on where that illegality of bypassing DRM schemes fits in with that, and also how it fits in with other laws and exceptions.

So yeah, it'll be interesting to see what the judge says. :)
