PC Modders Strike Back at Infinity Ward

Nothing to say really...

This just got real.  The old trailer for Modern Warfare 2 that went up back on July 27 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.
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.
