People know me here, but that ain’t right. You can’t just silence the internet (and ruin channels that rely on videos for personal revenue) because people are taking about spoilers. I get it, you wanna protect your potential money but this is an abuse. People are allowed to talk about what they want and make memes as they see for so long as it isn’t politically controversial.

ND showing their true colours lately with all this news with crunch culture and massive employee exodus in last 4 years. 

So the right to spoil and damage other property for own gain is bigger than the right to protect oneself?

Yeah, kind of.  

I'm not an expert on this kind of law, but I'm 99% sure kind of thing would fall under the category of fair use.  While I sometimes wish there were, I'm pretty sure that there's no special rule that allows you to DMCA something because it has spoilers in it.  You're also free to criticize and generally to use images from the material in your criticism.

Sony is well within their rights to control things on their channels, and Twitter is within their rights to have a policy against certain things.  But I'm pretty sure this is going far beyond what the DMCA actually allows.
