As The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom leaks continue to spill over the internet, Nintendo is issuing takedowns against emulation tools and streams, many of which have nothing to do with the game's early proliferation.
Last week, Nintendo issued a Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) strike taking Lockpick down from GitHub. Lockpick is a tool that allows you to dump decryption keys for games that you already have from your own Switch console. If you wanted to play a Switch game you don't own - in other words, one obtained through piracy - you'd need to find keys somewhere on the darker corners of the internet. You wouldn't be using a tool like Lockpick to get those keys.
