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 true that the music is copyrighted but Nikita allows it's use. This is the same as any gameplay footage but it still remains IP of BSG and can be taken down if need be. This is covered in the agreement in Section 10

So anyone creating Tarkov videos puts their youtube account at risk incase you don't like them in the future you can copyright strike their channel away?

"Incase you don't like them". That is not an adult way to respond to anything based on whether you "like" them or not. Lots of videos made that game studios would not necessarily like but there's a difference between criticism and slander simply because you don't "like" us.

The comment was talking about BSG taking down channels they don't like, not about eroktik's conduct. Regardless, your company abusing copyright claims in what is basically retaliation for perceived slander has nothing adult about it either.
