+**Please provide a detailed description of the original copyrighted work that has allegedly been infringed. If possible, include a URL to where it is posted online.**

+The Nintendo Switch console and video games contain technological protection measures (“TPMs”) that permit the Nintendo Switch console to interact only with legitimate Nintendo video game files. This process protects Nintendo’s copyright-protected video games, including but not limited to those covered by U.S. Copyright Registration numbers PA0002213509 (Super Mario Maker 2); PA0002233840 (Animal Crossing: New Horizons); PA0002213908 (Luigi’s Mansion 3); and PA0002028142 (The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild) by preventing users from playing pirated copies of Nintendo’s video games on the Nintendo Switch console and by preventing users from unlawfully copying and playing Nintendo’s video games on unauthorized devices.

+**How is the accused project designed to circumvent your technological protection measures?**
+
+The reported link offers and provides access to unauthorized copies of cryptographic keys that are used to circumvent Nintendo’s TPMs and infringe Nintendo’s intellectual property rights. Specifically, the reported link provides to users unauthorized copies of cryptographic keys (prod.keys) extracted from the Nintendo Switch firmware. The prod.keys allow users to bypass Nintendo’s TPMs for digital games; specifically, prod.keys allow users to decrypt and play Nintendo Switch games in unauthorized ways. Distribution of keys without the copyright owner’s authorization is a violation of Section 1201 of the DMCA. See Microsoft corp. v. EEE Bus. Inc., 555 F. Supp.2d 1051, 1059 (N.D. Cal. 2008); Actuate Corp. v. Internat’l Bus. Machines Corp., 2010 WL 1340519 (N.D. Cal. Apr. 5, 2010). Additionally, the unauthorized distribution of prod.keys facilitates copyright infringement by permitting users to play pirated versions of Nintendo’s copyright-protected game software on systems without the Nintendo TPMs or systems on which Nintendo’s TPMs have been disabled. Furthermore, the unauthorized distribution of prod.keys extracted from the Nintendo Switch firmware constitutes copyright infringement of Nintendo Switch firmware itself. The reported link violates the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of the United States (specifically, trafficking in circumvention devices under 17 U.S.C. §1201), and infringes copyrights owned by Nintendo.
