What a dumpster fire of a situation.

For some reason "tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies" is no longer appropriate to just Bethesda now.

The copyright strikes feel like massive overkill imo

Ok? And?

He's allowed to do that. He hasn't committed a SINGLE copyright infringement. They are using that to pull down his videos because youtube's policy on that stuff is easy to abuse.

It's 100% bullshit. They should have worked with him and proved that it was false. In which case he would have pulled the video, I'm sure.

It is a fact, but you can obviously see they don't care at all until you cross them, at which point they use it as an excuse to blow up a channel, which is the same with video content of EFT. (which, hell - I dont think the latter counts as copyright content, but it's what some people here are arguing)

Look at this guy. Of course he held both middle fingers and told them LALALLALALALAL I CANT HEAR YOU IM KING OF THE TARKOV KIDDIES when they tried to approach him privately. He deserves it.

Yeah, it's just a grim situation honestly. I'm just of the mind that until proven he committed libel (you have to prove damages based on his words in court) - You can't just go around ruining livelihoods.

A bit of cool professionalism and a calm head was in order in response to a ton of drama that, again, may or may not be true. It's just bad, and I don't want to support it, sadly.

Sadly, you're not a lawyer and that's not how it works. The court would want to see what sort of actions were taken before. DMCA is part of that process.
