Really? REALLY?! You're taking down videos of skyrim footage on Youtube, ZeniMax/Bethesda?!?!?!??!!??!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sNuFNZijnCo video was extremely popular, very funny, and it was featured on machinima... and now it's been taken down due to unfair copyright claims from ZeniMax, and I suspect, Bethesda too.

Utterly ridiculous.

So you just found out about the evil that is ZeniMax?

Poor, poor soul.

Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

I'm not sure if it's Bethesda's fault.

Either way:

"The Dovahkiin is Great with Kids"

It involves child killing, so that's probably why it was taken down. It was a very fun video though.

If it's your video, you can just dispute the claim and it will be back. Bethesda don't have a case.

Gah, I read the forum rules and most of the TOC linked from it, but

tl;dr (same when installing the game)

I'm sure a mod will read this--what's the official word with posting YouTube vids? How will that affect users posting how-to videos when the CK is released?

Well, there's your problem.

Yeeeesshhhhh! ZzzzeniMaxe muzzzzte Buurnnnne!

They are normally pretty good with MW, OB, FO3 and F:NV content. However, if it displayed their product as a negative, as you say child killing, even if it was in a satirical or in good humour manner, i can understand them taking it down.

never saw it though so meh...

Mirror like crazy, they can't get them all

Well, considering youtube vids are free advertizing for the company, child killing is not going to be exactly popular with them.

Anyone else just got the urge to play fallout 2?

Kidding but yeah its stated up front with this group anything depicting child killing and the like gets a foot to its throat quick.

Zenimax is the parent company. gamesas is the subsidiary, aka OWNED by them.

Their lawyers are causing another PR disaster? Already? I suppose it's perversely quite amusing.

If that is the case, then that is most certainly why it was taken down.

I don't think Zenimax cares about general footage. Hell, it's free advertising for their games. But when it's about a forbidden topic such as harming children, they shove copyright down the creators throat, as they rightfully should.

Ahh thanks just was pretty sure it was all the same company group, so gamesas is under the umbrella then has a subsidiary so basically same corp.

Ugh, just pathetic. The greed of these companies knows no bounds it would see. And I don't care what the video is about...(especially since preferential ageism is irrational anyway). Its not as though the people who upload these videos are making a dime off of the videos, so what exactly is the big deal?
