The war on video game mods that involve Pokémon continues! I can’t say for sure that the Pokémon Company’s renewed focus on taking down anything relating to these mods for 3rd party vid…
And that’s why I stopped buying their shit.

Niantic needs money I guess.

Makes sense. That company has been trash for years. Ever since they blocked rooted phones I’ve had no respect for them.

I heard about this from a video talking about how Relic Castle was taken down.
As of I didn’t need anymore reasons to buy a physical copy of The Anarchist Cookbook!

That’s a terrible resource and you shouldn’t use any of the outdated, dangerous advice in it. The internet has way better resources nowadays and If you think you need any of the advice in that book I’d suggest finding up to date info first.

Fair.

Uhh. Isn’t that illegal to do? The DMCA is only for things copyrighted by the owner, and they don’t own the other game and certaintly not the fair use recording of the person playing the game.

Is it possible to DMCA strike every video on the official Pokémon YouTube channel?

But the Pokémon themselves are IP of Nintendo at the moment, so their inclusion is technically copyright infringement no?

You can use copyrighted materials for fair use.

Abuse maybe, but illegal? No.
Its kinda like sending a “cease and desist” letter with a lawyer’s letterhead (usually an empty threat) but with the automoderation system in place about copyrighted works it winds up being up to the person defending themself from the claim to do the work to prove fair use instead of the person making the claim of infringement.

I’m like 90% sure the form says “under penalty of perjury I confirm that these statements are accurate and true.”
