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…
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.
Fair use is such a fickle thing. It isn’t the catch all that people want.
Without express permission from Nintendo, including Pokemon in a mod is copyright infringement.
Is it transformative? Thats extremely case by case, but Nintendo would make the arguement that mods can act as a market subsitute for their own product (like the guys putting pokemon into palworld).
IANAL, this is all just my opinion.
Wouldn’t it also be dependent on receiving some sort of income from it? Also nal
Actually, I don’t think so. Thats why Nintendo shits on a bunch of fan ports and remake projects.
Fair point, like Uranium years back
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.
If they fuck with Jrose11 I’ll riot.
They definitely better leave him alone.
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That’s a terrible resource and you shouldn’t use any of the outdated, dangerous advice in it.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 and checking yourself.
Fair.
