Avoiding
==Related to emulation==
Dumping tools, copying home media and home video content, media player softwares with optical discs encryption and copy [[Copy protection ]] techniques and codec situations since all of them are somewhat related to emulation, either directly or indirectly. Copyright infringement and attempts to remove infringing content through the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) have been ongoing issues in the [[Home_Media_Player|home media and home video]] (especially VCR), [[Ripping_games|dumping tools]], [[Home_Media_Player#Media_player_software|media player softwares with optical discs encryption and copy [[Copy protection ]] techniques, codec situations]] (HD-DVD and Blu-Ray disc support etc.)
===2K===
:*The concept of "fair use" was not directly addressed in this case, but the Court's emphasis on non-infringing uses laid the groundwork for future fair use arguments related to new technologies.
:*While not directly about emulation, this case set a precedent regarding the potential liability of technology companies for the actions of their users, which has indirect implications for emulation and the legal discussion around emulators and copyright infringement.

*[[yuzu]] removes Raptor Network support and shut down the server as well[https://old.reddit.com/r/emulation/comments/jndzdf/yuzu_removes_raptor_online_support/]. One of the potential reason was Nintendo is quite aggressive with C&D's, especially when it's something that is a '''current product of theirs''', so it was no surprise. See [[Nintendo Switch Online#Emulation of the service]] and [[Preservation projects#Private Platform Servers]].
