Nothing to say really...
This just got real. The old trailer for Modern Warfare 2 that went up back on July 27 (http://"http://csnation.totalgamingnetwork.com/forums/showthread.php?t=179998") has been removed due to copyright violations. Yes, a trailer that Infinity Ward put up themselves was removed from YouTube due to a copyright violation claim by the mod community.
The video in question showcased multiplayer gameplay utilizing the AC-130. This is where it all hits the fan (http://"http://bashandslash.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=787&Itemid=111").
As you may be aware, our very own PST*Joker has made assertions on BASH that the MP AC130 and several other MW2 features were influenced (without any recognition) by him and other PC modders.
A few hours ago, I saw a Tweet go out from a community member suggesting that Joker issue a takedown notice of Infinity Ward's AC130 vid on Youtube.
"@pstjoker I just thought you should send youtube a DMCA take down notice regarding the #MW2 AC130 video. See how youtube responds." (@therealrudedog)
I think Joker took up the idea and I can only assume he's more surprised than anyone that a few minutes ago YouTube yanked IW's AC130 video right off their official channel.
Just a few minutes ago I spoke to PST*Joker and apparently he did make the takedown claim and YouTube did take down the original official video from their IW channel. Joker forwarded this reply from IW's community manager:
"Really? Copyright infringment claim? :sigh:" - Fourzerotwo DM on Twitter
It seems as though a number of the additions made to the Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer came from the Modern Warfare mod, X4, and others without any acknowledgment to the mod creators.
