Imagine seeing a family member named Mario or Luigi dying and the next thing you see on the funeral are people from Nintendo taking away his grave stone because of their names
The DMCA system is so stupidly easy to abuse. I remember those years ago when a 3rd party copyrighted pewdiepie's own music video on his own channel with the reason being quote "On behalf of pewdiepie"
If I can no longer be completely shit on through voice chat and be called the F word multiple times by a guy with a Luigi skin, this life isn't even worth living anymore
@@est1569 R34 is protected under the parody act, as long as it doesn't get sold No one can do anything about R34 of their character because its a parody, same with games like pokemon fusion, its protected by the same thing
It isn't IF it was Nintendo, It is that we BELIEVE it could be Nintendo. They have such little good will left that it just makes sense for them to do such a thing. If a more customer centered company did this, we might be inclined to disbelieve it.
This aged like milk Nintendo actually got the map removed though luckily it was saved before hand so it got reuploaded but imagine if it hadn't been saved...
in before that Garry has to disable workshop because people keep abusing it. Since they would be legally have to do so if they allow people to post copyright content
Nintendo: *sees that stuff is getting taken down* Nintendo to it's lawyers: "Wow you really ruined their hard work! NICE! LOL!" Nintendo lawyer: "It wasn't us actually... Some guy is impersonating Nintendo to do this" Nintendo, breathing fire out it's nose and mouth: "WHAT?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?! HE MUST BE DEALT WITH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Nintendo is the only company that constantly shoots itself in the foot by not allowing its property to be anywhere yet is still successful somehow Whether this is a troll or not doesn’t change the fact that Nintendo still does this on a regular basis anyway
DMCA abuse needs to be stopped, especially by fake parties/copyright trolls. Reminds me of how four parties, none of whom were even slightly involved with Nintendo, tried to simultaneously copyright claim the Ocarina of Time Lost Woods music.
@@christianmorales7329some people are saying that on closer inspection, the email that sent the DMCA is a fake. Honestly, at this point, so much has been said that I’m just gonna wait a few days to see what happens.
This is the first crisis that affects me personally. Net neutrality was one thing, but mass reporting 20 years of Nintendo addons to fill your own ego? I can’t even begin to describe how heinous this is.
Net neutrality has only just begun playing itself out. It will fundamentally change the nature of the internet for the rest of time. Nintendo kicking Gary's Mod in the balls is annoying but small potatoes by comparison.
I’m not shocked. I remember during one E3 the reps for Nintendo started their speech with “please do not clap or cheer for the duration of our presentation.” Real stand up guys
@klutzmtg2310 the myth of the library of Alexandria is overblown. There were many far superior libraries, and by the time it burnt down it was a shell of its former self. So in this case, much like the library of Alexandria, not much of note will be lost for humanity.
Mario is in his 20's-early 30's... But yes, this getting a bit too absurdest. May as well cease my doctor, or friend... Who would be named Mario or Luigi XD.
Not to mention my personal theory that they've been ripping off Taito, with some examples being Rainbow Road being stolen from Laser Grand Prix and Luigi being stolen from the Zoo Keeper marquee.
That's a copyright troll dude called Aaron Peters. He runs around fake striking Nintendo-related content. He is not affiliated in any way with Nintendo or any of its current or prior company property. He will be brought to justice. It will be his last day on earth.
@@trippymlgjunkrat5749nah, not really, most Japanese producers and developers don't act as strict as Nintendo, Nintendo sees one opportunity to sue something that they "own" and they immediately take it, that's just corporate evil at it's finest.
So, this is an important question: Would this eventually include youtube videos that have this content in their videos? VanossGaming? Garry's Mod Idiot Box? Team Fabulous 2? I wouldn't even doubt they would take down the late Kitty0706's videos for their use of maps and characters from Nintendo in his videos. May he rest in peace. Where is the fair use when it comes to this? After 20 years come in and force takedown on workshop creations. It's almost like a modern day burning of the Library of Alexandria. Just history gone in the blink of an eye.
Nintendo is the only company that could have somebody impersonate them and get away with it, because the same bullying tactics are what their own people use.
@@SpectrumAssociatesWith the exception of myself, as I would plan to make an anti-Nintendo campaign video that stylized on Harvester's video of British Rebuild Party's advertisement of the early 1980s. And I would say this comment: "The whole Nintendo company had lied to you."
And that's what muddies the waters so badly. Hell, one of those people apparently has even been using an email address that looks like Nintendo of America's own email address.
A couple hours ago, Garry Newman said he verified it coming from Nintendo. This reminds me of when Nintendo was taking down music and people were swearing left and right it was a fake Nintendo until the uploader confirmed it was real. Why are people so quick to jump through hoops for Nintendo thinking they wouldn't already take down stuff like this?
People do believe that Nintendo would take this stuff down. Not only is this comment section an obvious example, but people put the blame on them all the time. Plus, we're in an age where people instantly believe that any source is legit, even if it does turn out later to be false anyway and never learn to take things with a grain of salt ( *insert relevant celebrity allegations that turn out to be false here* ), do people expect that majority to take that with a grain of salt if they said that Nintendo did it?
I think that, for the most part, people don't want it to be legit because that means that all of it is actually being deleted. They can't go 'oh it's just a troll, we don't have to delete anything', they have to delete it because it's the official company.
*Free Advertisement* Nintendo: Ew Yucky, 🤮 (Though btw the fact that he's called Aaron Peters and the Company starts with A-P is hella sus could totally be the same guy)
My mom remade the flying raccoon suit Mario from the cover of Super Mario 3 in cake form when I was a child, I posted a throwback photo of me with it to Twitter in 2012, and I received a C&D from Nintendo of America Inc. They are pure evil.
You say that as if it's ever been confirmed to be fans. It is equally as likely if not more that it's someone who hates Nintendo and wants to make them look worse
@@Snowstorm...See, but here's the thing... you can't prove that either, I could also say it's more likely fans doing it but that doesn't mean anything unless you can back it up, hell it's probably both! There's a shit ton of Diehard Nintendo fans who would buy a piece of shit if a Nintendo logo was on it, there's also those who passionately hate Nintendo and think pirating their games is a good thing and that Nintendo should go fuck itself!
@@flaminginferno6641 Honestly, I'm in the ladder. I refuse to support them in any shape or form, but I wouldn't go to these extremes on purpose, just to make them look bad (if a dude is actually doing this and not the company itself). All this is doing is making you look like an asshole by destroying other fan's work and since this is the internet, someone will find out who you are and expose you at some point. Not to mention, nintendo isn't known for mercy when it comes to sending folks to court and if they choose to do something to this individual...
@@flaminginferno6641 Well, yeah, obviously. I never implied it couldn't be an obsessive fan. It's definitely both. "Equally if not more likely" ≠ "It is more likely" We're saying the same thing
I’m gonna be honest, I think Nintendo might have just poked a sleeping dragon of what is simultaneously one of the most chaotically unhinged yet talented groups of internet dwellers.
@@AI.Overlord.X Have you not been paying attention? Nintendo does this crap all the time, that's why it's hard to find their emulated games. But yes, continue to laugh at your ignorance. 🤦♂️
sega sees talented fans passionate about their IP, hires them and makes Sonic Mania nintendo sees talented fans passionate about their IP, sends a cease and desist either to remove everything or fall into financial ruin
Sega is a clown show right now. At the very least, Nintendo cares about outputting the best content for their franchises and regulating how they will be interpreted.
@@tcwofficalchannel not at all. the larger holding company that acquired sega because sega was doing poorly does well,but sega is one of their weaker assets. no comparison to nintendo,who are indepently worth a substantial bit more.
@@traionjones711Nintendo makes some bangers but don't get it twisted, they've been making almost the same shit year after year for decades with slight changes. Reminds me of Pokémon fans who absolutely glaze them when they put out the same Pokémon game they did in the 90s but with more Pokémon and maybe 1 or 2 unique mechanics if that.
Because the idea is branding. Imagine someone sees or experiences Mario with a gun or whatever committing violence. There's gonna be an association with Mario being violent, which makes it less likely for people to consider him kid-friendly. You're probably going to say something about how only stupid people won't realize it's fan-made content. It doesn't matter, whether or not you like it, exposure is all you need for the brain to make the association. It's why advertisements work, even if you think you don't care about the product. It's called the mere-exposure effect. That said, I'm not a fan of this move either.
I would love to enter the contest because my current pc is so bad that it barely runs microsoft word to do essays for my university work but there is certainly more hard core gamers out there that will use it to its fullest potential given the specs, so i wont.
Honestly, seeing how often "Nintendo" gets brought up in DMCA Takedowns, and how there are multiple examples of people faking Nintendo to takedown stupid fun that people are having, you just have to be skeptical whenever this happens.
And yet no one will because they want to be mad at Nintendo, even if it's fake/made up. Always happens like this which is sad because there are very real things to call them out over
@@citizenvulpes4562 but no one knows (including facepunch) if it even is nintendo, they're just scared to fight back because if it really is nintendo this shit is gonna get wild
Wait they’re actually getting rid of that. Dude it’s a community mod. How tf do they have the right to get rid of that?! Edit: Not even f*cking official content. What’s next? Minecraft Mario skins have to be removed?! Or: Oh! Someone posted fan art of Mario! Removed!
Honestly am starting to believe Nintendo doesn’t care about dmca-ing small things cause ain’t no way they take down a guy named bowser long before finding out gmods had their IP in the game for free for 20 yrs. Crazy!? But, at the same time because Nintendo wouldn’t care they would also listen to the people dmca-ing games, names and movies .etc cause why not I guess???
After Gmod putting out the thing on steam the second this was discovered, I knew everyone was gonna cover it. It's more devastating when you see something not only happen to a game you own, but see it before any youtubers or news brought attention to it. It felt frustrating and lonely. Now I feel a little better seeing everyone pick up on it. Gmod was my first steam game back in 2014, I now own hundreds others in my library. Gmod was the main reason I got a steam account. I know the game will be okay, but this is such an injustice.
I want someone to make a compilation of all the ways Steamboat Willy was bastardized, and the compilation ending with a character looking at a photograph of an Italian plumber while saying “You’re next”. And then send this compilation to every Nintendo email.
Artists : Spend time drawing really messed up artworks of Nintendo characters . Nintendo : I sleep Modders : Spend lots of time adding Nintendo characters via the use of mods . Nintendo : REAL SH!T
Even if it's not Nintendo, it doesn't really matter to me because Nintendo does not speak up about this. All they need to do is say it's not them and Facepunch can ignore the DMCA, the case would be over.
@@aycc-nbh7289 What? How is banning free and open source mods "caring"? It's literally the other way around. Them not reacting in this situation, is not caring about their IP. Someone blatantly impersonates them and is abusing Nintendo's own power to pass judgement on their behalf, without consulting it with them.
@@sherlockowiec1693 Nintendo is the kind of company to jump on DMCA opportunities, troll or not. The moment Facepunch reached out to Nintendo, or worse, the Nintendo American branch, people say that was done and done. As they say the American branch of Nintendo is somehow worse than any other branch. People say the Australian Nintendo branch is the most lenient of the Nintendo branches internationally. The American one is said to be just as eager to strike down anything at any opportunity. So really, regardless if they were legit or not, US Nintendo would gladly side with anyone who DMCAs on their behalf. Heck impersonating and weaponizing DMCAs is completely legal if you play your cards right. Because you can weaponize moderators and administrators in places like discord or reddit. You could DMCA on behalf of Games Workshop and Disney, and they will JUMP AT THE CHANCE. Literally Disney copyright struck a Parody of We Don't Talk About Bruno... but it happened some time after the video went viral. So the creator had only one question, like why they copyright struck it when it was already past it's peak of views. Which is reasonable, he already got all his money's worth in ad revenue. Which sounds funny tbh. But it could ahve been a Disney appointed web surfer, if Disney hires 10,000 Consultants for their entertainment industry, they can afford to hire maybe two more divisions worth of people just to surf the internet and copyright strike to do stuff. Could just be a legion of interns. Nintendo America, while they are moral enough to condemn Activision Blizzard's worth place practices, they are not above jumping on DMCA takedowns a step above that of Japan's Nintendo. Or so people say. I cannot vouch for if they are worse than Japan's Nintendo branch, only that people say Nintendo of America is the most eager to jump on DMCA takedowns without a second thought. That's what people say. Either way, Nintendo is very, very anti-fan content. For the fact it kind of gives "Bad Exposure" for their brand or it shows how fans dedicated and with extra effort can make games that even surpass their own. Which some radical Nintendo fans hate for being "Not made by Nintendo".
Nintendo letting it exist for 20 years to suddenly say "no more" someone at nintendo found the garrys mod video where mario went up the stairs. Flew out the window. And then broke through a kids wall "this is what i do i SUE YOUR ASS AND YOUR BALLS" with mario holding up the cease and desist Edit:(Gmod idiot box episode 15)
As a recent active g mod player I can assure you that nobody is even using Nintendo stuff in gmod servers and nobody is making money off Nintendo they are just single player add-ons.
Sega sees someone having genuine fun with a fan game and say "Youre hired, lets make your fan game a real game" Nintendo sees people having fun with a fan game and bring them to court and sue them for 500,000$ Edit: When did I make this comment
That's because Nintendo saw what happened to Bliznerd's with DOTA. It was a small game; then took over WC3 entirely. Now they can't get a *DIME* from it because it was moved off their platform. The second you make a map for anything related to Bliznerd *YOUR* IP is considered to be *THEIR PROPERTY* because of the changes to the EULA when they re-released. Nintendo behaves the same way, they just do the "Japanese Way" where they "keep face and maintain honor" which works until you know how their country is still feudal in mindsets. Sega doesn't have the manpower or lawyer power to do the same stuff Nintendo does, because Nintendo is on the spectrum when it comes to dedication to protecting their IP's at any cost.
@@ninjirealno no, he has a bit of a point. unlike gmod playermodels which are just kinda there, sml did associate inherently homophobic, ableist, and sexist rhetorics within characters nintendo owned. im not one to whine whenever someone makes jokes like that, i myself am gay, but you can see that being associated with jokes MADE to be offensive can be a bit of a grey area, yknow?
