    It is almost a zero cost. They already have the legal-ish ruling. It is just filling out a form letter and sending it out.

        You don’t need a lawyer to file a DMCA request. You just need to be ready to get one if someone disputes it.

        And Nintendo almost definitely have lawyers on retainer, if not in house. The added cost of this is the effort it takes to search github for “uzu” and send an email.

          There are law firms that work on contract specifically to do this work. And it’s not like the senior partner is doing it repo by repo, it’s a junior paralegal searching GitHub for “yuzu.cpp” or whatever and filing one big takedown request for all the results.

            If there hadn’t already been a court ruling-ish (it is complicated) giving Nintendo the “right” to do this? Sure

            As it stands? It very well could be an intern filling out a word document
