    What do you mean with they are banned? Who’s gonna stop them from contributing to one of the many Yuzu forks? What are they gonna do about it?

      A permanent injunction is entered against Defendant enjoining it and its members, agents, servants, employees, independent contractors, successors, assigns, and all those acting in privity or under its control from:

      a. Offering to the public, providing, marketing, advertising, promoting, selling, testing, hosting, cloning, distributing, or otherwise trafficking in Yuzu or any source code or features of Yuzu

      IANAL but that sounds like the court is banning those developers from working on Yuzu. I mean, you can still try to work on project that is 90% Yuzu but with another name but I feel like your lawyer would advise against that.

      The answers are “the court system” and “have the police arrest them for defying a court order” respectively.

          Okay then what? Unless the devs try real hard to stay hidden, Nintendo’s lawyers will do a little bit of digging, they will find out who those pseudonyms are, and sue again. And this time the devs will be extremely lucky if they can get away with just paying out 2.4m because the law generally does not appreciate it very much when you try to ignore and avoid its previous rulings. A console emulator is absolutely not worth the potentially devastating legal consequences.

      Nintendo would stop them. If yuzu devs want to go to court, they can continue development.

      Yuzu devs could do it anonymously, but that’s gl on not doxxing yourself, at risk of lawsuit.

      I mean, I guess it can happen through private web communities of course. It would just enter the region of game cracks.

      Also marginally possible someone reverse engineers, and puts up something unrecognizable compared to the original.
