> ... This process protects Nintendo’s copyright-protected video games
Does Nintendo use LLMs to write games? AIUI, LLM output doesn't qualify for copyright protection. I guess maybe there's an argument for their older catalog.

"LLM output doesn't qualify for copyright protection" is an oversimplification. You aren't automatically disqualified from copyright protection if you've touched an LLM. It's just that copyright protections only apply to human creativity. You can qualify even when you use LLMs if you were humanly involved creatively with the output to a sufficient degree.
Also the focus seems to be on bypassing "technological protection measures" portion of the DMCA, which is much easier to go after than the code. Decomps are much more focused on purely the code angle and, for now, still don't seem to be in the focus of these attempts (I assume because it's harder to go after with the same kind of claim, but really only Nintendo will know why they haven't tried yet).
