piracy (in the sense of sharing copyrighted content with others) and bypassing DRM is illegal in nearly every country of the world, subject to the Berne convention and the WIPO treaty
it literally says “the possibility is being considered”. Nothing concrete. Rutracker has been unbanned (afaik), but that’s it. That doesn’t mean shit about whether you can get sued, it just means the government will be more “hands-off” in regulating Western media piracy. They are still part of the WIPO and other treaties and can’t not recognize other countries’ IP unless they denounce those treaties, which would be stupid to do.
While it is always illegal. In germany, when I own a game or video or whatever. Even console and I own the games. I can remove the DRM for myself but are not allowed to distribute them. Only for my own purpose. So Yuzu and putting games from my Switch to PC should br legal in Germany
Or just host it somewhere where they haven’t entered the market. Like for example, India. They can’t do shit here.
Or Russia, where piracy is legal (AFAIK).

I think except germany? In germany you are allowed to do everything with your devices because you own it.
you aren’t, bypassing DRM is always illegal. Using others’ tools to bypass DRM may be legal, just like downloading copyrighted content may be legal.
