Perhaps but unless there’s something different about Yuzu I don’t understand, it would have to go against established precedent in the US. For example, I assume Yuzu isn’t providing the BIOS so how could it be breaking the law? Reverse engineering (clean room) has always been legal because there’s no copyright infringement of the software and thus how else would Nintendo be protected? Meta-copyright? A patent?
I think this is just them trying to screw Yuzu by making them not even attempt a fight in court. Will it stop it now? No. But perhaps Nintendo has a method that would stop Yuzu currently and is trying to kill them before they implement it.
Yeah I know but that’s like blaming a copying machine for facilitating trade secrets because it copies the cipher text printed on paper. It doesn’t decipher it. Someone still has to have the cipher key(s) but they’re still blaming the copying machine.

They are arguing that the sticking point is that it subverts the copyright protection measures.
But it still relies on users providing their own keys so that doesn’t make much sense either.
