Your only hope is that Bloomberg drops the claim out of goodwill.
Which, if there is any lawyer in charge, they aren't going to do, because it would set a precedence and you now got a million others dumping multiple-miute clips of their footage into their commercial videos.

If it goes to court, it will be a Honey 2.0 and i will watch you either forget about it and memoryhole it.... or complain about the court system being infested by Chinese spies who conspired against your eceleb and Xi Jinping personally sending hit squads to Gamers Nexus..

It's ironic that China still allows this video on their Youtube alternative, despite being a controversial topic for them. I know you are more on the side of Russia/China, and I can understand that. But it is utter hypocrisy to defend this Amercian DMCA bullshit.

China represents the smuggling as morally righteous, espousing free market principals, and defending Chinese markets from American mercantilism. Of course they’ll leave it up. They want their citizens to know this is happening.

Some smaller law firms have pivoted to providing algorithmic DMCA takedown services. The idea: big companies pay those firms either a flat fee or some sort of per-takedown rate for issuing DMCA takedowns for online uses of their content, and the firms use algorithmic methods (and, often, third party vendors, often third world third parties) to catch purportedly infringing content and toss DMCA requests out on behalf of their client

I think this is general knowledge by now.
If GamersNexus doesn't mention that, it's because they want to fuel conspiracy theories.
It is the little GamersNexus hobby project out of a basement getting attacked by state actors and heroically defending against injustice.

It was literally under a minute and 30 seconds of footage used total. Watching the video I felt that for the old man security. He sounded like he didn't really want to be there and he was very respectful to Steve, and Steve was to him. Although having the security goons following Steve around was funny

I didn't know I can use fucking <$0.1/each crystal oscillators to "big hack" Amazon. Pathetic.
Bloomberg is rubbish. Their "oh no China getting GPUs" video was horseshit. AI build on sand? Empire on sand? Sleeping dragon but also paper tiger? When will these ridiculous Falungong tropes (invented by the Chinese too, mind you) end?
They only care about profit and sensationalism, not the truth. They flew to China and filmed some sand, oh wow breaking news. tldr of their video is "we don't know what we are doing but here's a Chinese desert".


That's the state of your politics, America.

Bloomberg also employs Jason Schreier, so you know how bad things are.
 
What I don't understand is why Steve making it much of a bigger deal than it is, both this and the initial story. NVIDIA doesn't care, China doesn't care, Singapore doesn't care.
It was specifically about top end CONSUMER cards and how they get into China, ending up with a B2B guy, then being bought in bulk.

Not much about H200s or other AI beasts disappearing or ways those get smuggled back into China, that'd probably piss off companies and governments.

That's the really sad part. The documentary was pretty long, boring and a big nothing burger as far as importing embargoed items goes. (The 4090 memory upgrade was kinda cool). Sanctioned countries have been finding ways to get these items for decades.

Bloomberg really fucked up with the copyright strike. It could have been some automated enterprise software or contracted company, but I'm kinda leaning towards the side of somebody intentionally pulled that trigger because of the content. The copyright strike is literally a bigger story than the original documentary.

There is nothing wrong with knowing something new. Then again we have people who love to gargle NVIDIA's cock like they're the fucking aliens from They Live so what do I know?

They spent a lot of money on this project and this is probably one of their most expensive videos so far. From their video it seems like they have more of these super long form documentaries planned but with this copyright strike it is likely that even when it is lifted they will never make back their investment making it harder to justify future projects.

Additionally Bloomberg could genuinely believe this is a threat to their tech related content and this is the first shot in preventing future content like this from GN

Probably because staring at charts comparing FPS in slop games and talking about it for ten years makes you go insane and become autistic. He's literally dedicated his life to the study of GPUs, and this is how he chooses to execute that study.
 
The real shit test will be whether or not Steve will manage to deliver on all the promises made in the fundraiser since he has put a massive burden on himself. I thought about it recently, and I think the reason he silently dipped out of the PayPal case was because he bit off more than he could chew and chose the easy way out. Still a shit ordeal given how he never clarified what happened to the money raised for that and if it was spent on paying off lawyers, what the rest of it was spent on.

I wonder if he'll do a similar dip-out here once he won't be able to fill out his obligations, or will it be like the fan tester. Years of radio silence, then an update.

Yeah, the fan tester. At this rate it'll be another three years before he manages to do any kind of testing when he keeps distracting himself with documentaries and tasking stretch goals.

I thought about it for a minute, and I've decided it would be good if someone highly critical of him was able to get significant traction asking these kinds of questions. Regardless of whether it's fair to him and regardless of whether the critique has merit, now would be a very good time for himself and his brand to face a serious test of character. I was particularly annoyed by how the whole "we investigated GPU smuggling and got detained by law enforcement" bit was presented. They willfully inserted themselves into a situation that necessarily involves state actors from multiple large governments, and then found the gayest way to present how it went down. If you watch the video content then you'll eventually see something approximating the truth of what happened but the way they play it up to put people on tinterhooks is fake and gay like an Nvidia GPU performance chart.

All of this dramatized "Entity X is blacklisting us because we publicly called them liars and swindlers" stuff is a very convenient plucky underdog cloak to wrap around yourself. I like the informational content of their work, but skipping past the theatrics to get the important info is starting to require more and more effort. I don't give them money, so it's very possible that I'm retarded and GN is addressing these kinds of critiques in some format that's accessible to their backers. Mostly I'm just feeling extra skeptical after Me Chinese, Me Play Joke: The Movie.

I lol'd

The irony is that it's not even a good joke because Nvidia themselves seem to be involved in it (or at least know that this is happening but don't care), so it just leaves you going:

A scandal usually means an activity that is not only illegal but nobody knows about until someone (or some people) pull the cover up and show everyone what's going on. Maybe normnalfags might be like "*gasp* OMG!!" but anyone that's even remotely familiar with tech related shit knows this is China's M.O. Did people forget about the abundance of bootlegs in the video game scene in the 90's?
