Forums - PC - BASHandSLASH user gets MW2 AC130 youtube video removed

http://kotaku.com/5400901/youtube-yanked-this-vid-off-infinity-ward-channel---on-modders-takedown-notice

"The displeasure directed by some in the Modern Warfare 2 PC community toward Infinity Ward isn't limited to petitions. This weekend, YouTube removed a video Infinity posted to its channel, after a modder filed a DMCA takedown notice.

BASHandSlash user PST*Joker has claimed that Modern Warfare 2's AC-130 reward (achieved for a killstreak of 11) was influenced by mods he and other PC gamers made to the original Modern Warfare. Infinity Ward posted a video (above, currently hosted on a non-Infinity Ward account) highlighting the AC-130 bonus in Modern Warfare 2.

So one of the site's community members sent a tweet out to PST*Joker recommending he, as the owner of the content, send a DMCA takedown to YouTube. "See how youtube responds," he said.

Shortly thereafter, the video was pulled, right off of Infinity Ward's official channel.

BASHandSlash says that after the takedown, Infinity Ward community manager Robert Bowling direct messaged PST*Joker about the removal: " "Really? Copyright infringment claim? :sigh:" read the message, according to BASHandSlash.

It's humurous, but I doubt it's really going to accomplish anything in the long run since his mod is still from THEIR game. I guess we should get ready for Infinity Ward's next barrage of "It's only the people who make mods that are against IWnet!"

This is hilarious.

That response is priceless. For once, the roles are reversed!

They should realize that what they've done with MW2 is effectively "declare war" against their PC fanbase, so I don't think they have much room to complain.



Bwahahahahahahaha. That made me smile.

Haha, what a dumbass.
I mean, really? Did he make the game? Was the mod not made off of the CoD game?
The thought that he is entitled to anything is wrong.

Seriously, Fuck IW and fuck rob bowling and his NVGs he can shove them where the sun never shines.

That is awesome. And hilarious.



That is absolutely badass and awesome.

As for people going on about this thing, he did make the mod for their game, and he doesn't make money out of it, thus honoring the license. However, his mod is HIS intellectual property so he had every right to do that.

On another note, I wonder if 4chan will fuck with IW.... hopefully they do, they always make people's lives miserable.

Didn't they already spam IW's forums?

It would be lulzy if they DDOS'd the IW.net servers or something, though. XD

Or something similar to the Pirates Bay users did to the RIAA site, would be hilarious if someone made IW's webpage something related to the distain they have towards the pc version.
