"In addition to the project page being removed, all of the accounts of those who have contributed to the Suyu project have also been locked."<p>So Gitlab is worse then github when it comes to dmca requests.
This is quite fascinating, I was pulling the repo on github as i read this and the download was killed as I was cloning.<p><pre><code> error: RPC failed; curl 56 Recv failure: Connection reset by peer

> Suyu unlawfully uses unauthorized copies of cryptographic keys<p>I thought that's not true, and that was the major change Suyu was making to avoid legal trouble.
Related from just yesterday:<p><i>First beta of Nintendo Switch emulator Suyu goes live</i><p><a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39766138">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39766138</a>
Is that a surprise to anybody?<p>Well, the developers use a distributed VCS so they can still work on the project, exchange patches, etc. only with less publicity, which is a good thing when you work on legally dubious stuff.
I don't get it how that letter can stand?
Quoting from the first paragraph:<p><pre><code> | ... namely Suyu uses unauthorized copies of cryptographic keys to decrypt
| unauthorized copies of Nintendo Switch games ...
</code></pre>
Shouldn't the "unauthorized" word be proven true before this kind of letter is thrown at the wall to make sure it sticks? Not in this world apparently
I’ve always thought that countries like Iran who want to piss off the US should just offer git hosting for these types of projects.<p>Heck offer Pirate Bay domains too.
