YouTubers Are Being Targeted by Fake Nintendo Lawyer DMCA Takedowns
YouTubers covering Nintendo games and featuring gameplay from its titles are being targeted by fake DMCA takedowns. YouTube has a DMCA system in place where that can make it very easy for someone to file a fake copyright takedown request, something that has been abused by others in the past and can be weaponized against unsuspecting YouTube channels. Nintendo has a history of being very protective of its IP throughout the internet as well, and YouTube is no exception.
