That framing doesn't do him and the team justice. There is (or better, was) a 3.5h long story about NVIDIA GPUs finding their ways illegaly from the US to China, which got taken down by a malicious DMCA claim from Bloomberg. It is quite interesting to watch (Can be found archive.org).

GN is one of the last pro-consumer outlets, that keep on digging and shaking the tree big companys are sitting on.

[topspin]

For the record, I think GN is excellent and highly credible.

Given that Gamers Nexus needs the ad revenue wouldn't linking to a re-upload that wouldn't give them any of that be sort of bad?

[dspillett]

While they can't publish it themselves this at least achieves the goal of the information being spread, along with the knowledge that it was their investigative team that did the work in the first place.

But yes, once they reedit and republish themselves (or manage some sort of appeal and republish as-is) then of course linking to that (and a smaller cut of the parts they've had to change because Bloomberg were litigious arseholes, if only to highlight that their copyright claim here is somewhat ridiculous) would be much better.

[gdwatson]

It sounds like their lawyers have done the appropriate counter-challenge with YouTube, so the video will go back up unless Bloomberg sues them in the next so many days. And this is Gamers Nexus, so I presume they will fight to keep it as is on principle.

Personally, I found the length of the quotes from politicians kind of tedious, but I sure wouldn’t want them to capitulate to Bloomberg after this.

[akimbostrawman]

They do not "need" it since that movie was crowd funded with over 400k anyways and AdSense are pittance in comparison. They also have indirectly promoted that reupload.

[crote]

YouTube ad revenue isn't as high as you'd think. A very significant part of their income comes from in-video sponsors and merchandise sales.

[FirmwareBurner]

>Given that Gamers Nexus needs the ad revenue

They made six figures from merch sales on that investigation. Not much, but more than Youtube ads.

[gblargg]

Agreed. I'm waiting until they get it back up to watch it. I can wait.

buy a mug from them to support them!

When something is uploaded to the internet, it won't be easy to take it down.

Ask Beyonce.

[frabert]

Or Barbra Streisand

[Mistletoe]

Can you explain further about Beyoncé? Do you mean the elevator video where her sister attacks Jay Z?

Haha I love that one. She should have just leaned into it and laughed.

[mrheosuper]

There is a picture on internet that Beyonce and her lawyers don't like. They tried to remove it from the internet.

You guess the result.
