Switch Emulator Suyu Hit by GitLab DMCA, Project Lives on Through Self-Hosting
Freeman writes:
Switch emulator Suyu-a fork of the Nintendo-targeted and now-defunct emulation project Yuzu-has been taken down from GitLab following a DMCA request Thursday. But the emulation project's open source files remain available on a self-hosted git repo on the Suyu website, and recent compiled binaries remain available on an extant GitLab repo.
While the DMCA takedown request has not yet appeared on GitLab's public repository of such requests, a GitLab spokesperson confirmed to The Verge that the project was taken down after the site received notice "from a representative of the rightsholder." GitLab has not specified who made the request or how they represented themselves; a representative for Nintendo was not immediately available to respond to a request for comment.
