"NEW: Nintendo is suing the creators of popular Switch emulator Yuzu, saying their tech illegally circumvents Nintendo's software encryption and facilitates piracy. Seeks damages for alleged violations and a shutdown of the emulator.

Notes 1 million copies of Tears of the Kingdom downloaded prior to game's release; says Yuzu's Patreon support doubled during that time. Basically arguing that that is proof that Yuzu's business model helps piracy flourish."

You don't just need to provide keys, but an entire firmware dump. Yuzu contains no executable Switch code AFAIK

Not claiming it does. It seems like it might have the tooling to break copyright enforcement if you give it the right keys is the problem.
