A Fake Nintendo Lawyer Is Scaring YouTubers, and It’s Not Clear YouTube Can Stop Him
In a shocking turn of events, a fake Nintendo lawyer named Tatsumi has been targeting YouTubers with false copyright claims, leaving many creators feeling threatened and powerless. This individual, who claims to be an authorized agent for Nintendo of America Inc., has been sending out malicious DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) notices, demanding that videos be taken down or face severe penalties.
The impact on these creators is devastating. Many are being forced to remove their content without proper verification or investigation. The false claims have resulted in the loss of revenue and even channel deletion for some YouTubers.
