The grandparent post is talking about §1201, whereas you're talking about §512 (I haven't checked which one Nintendo used, although "DMCA takedown" normally refers to §512).
- zerocrates 3y agoThe project they apparently had Github take down was something that dumps keys from Switches, so it would be 1201, anti-circumvention.
- jkaplowitz 3y agoAh, you're right indeed. (As of course you, specifically, would be on this topic.) My mistake. Unfortunately I can no longer edit my previous comment to correct it.
- schoen 3y agoIt is confusing, because some organizations have sometimes improperly sent §512 takedown notices alleging §1201 violations (which isn't contemplated by the text of §512, which requires an allegation of direct copyright infringement). I don't remember if there are any court decisions addressing this practice. (I also don't know what theories hosting providers use or don't use to argue that they don't have §1201 liability for things that their customers post...)
