Comment on Bandai Namco Copyright Strikes YouTubers Showing Off Game Mods

Google complies with Japanese copyright in the US because they are required to by law. Again, complaining about the wrong thing is ineffectual, if you want change then you need to be informed enough to understand what needs to be changed in the first place.

It also enforces a requirement that countries recognize rights held by the citizens of all other parties to the convention

Yes i know, Google frequently does such things when Germany lets them take down hatespeach or videos that would violate the German laws regarding nazi symbolism. They also did that when a German copyright agency just claimed everything even if it wasn’t actually theirs or protected under different laws. They just put the “this video is not available in your country because your laws suck” screen on a video claimed. It was however available from everywhere else.
