"A brave YouTuber has managed to defeat a fake Nintendo lawyer improperly targeting his channel with copyright takedowns that could have seen his entire channel removed if YouTube issued one more strike.

Sharing his story with The Verge, Dominik "Domtendo" Neumayer—a German YouTuber who has broadcasted play-throughs of popular games for 17 years—said that it all started when YouTube removed some videos from his channel that were centered on The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom. Those removals came after a pair of complaints were filed under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and generated two strikes. Everyone on YouTube knows that three strikes mean you're out and off the platform permanently.

Suddenly at risk of losing the entire channel he had built on YouTube, Neumayer was stunned, The Verge noted, partly because most game companies consider "Let's Play" videos like his to be free marketing, not a threat to their business. And while Nintendo has been known to target YouTubers with DMCA takedowns, it generally historically took no issues with accounts like his."

#Brasil #Rio #Copyright #CopyrightTrolls: "Notificações como essa são típicas do chamados “copyright trolls”: empresas que enviam centenas, às vezes milhares, de notificações para fazer valer direitos que muitas vezes não possuem, ou cujo exercício pode estar restrito pelas hipóteses de exceções e limitações da lei de direitos autorais. Em outras palavras, empresas que se profissionalizaram na adoção de práticas abusivas, explorando a propriedade intelectual e outros direitos similares para constranger os notificados a fechar acordos.

Esses copyright trolls contam com o fato de que a maioria das pessoas notificadas não possuem formação jurídica e podem se sentir ameaçadas com a afirmação de que estariam cometendo supostos ilícitos.

Tendo em vista a larga experiência do ITS Rio com os temas aventados na presente notificação, já que o instituto desenvolve justamente pesquisas e cursos sobre propriedade intelectual, inclusive em parceria com algumas das mais prestigiosas universidades estrangeiras, optamos por indicar aqui alguns fundamentos que revelam a improcedência dos argumentos e o abuso cometido pelas empresas que exploram o bondinho. Até como forma de auxiliar outras pessoas que estejam sendo constrangidas pelas concessionárias."
