"I guess this is nearly an annual thing now. In 2019, we talked about how one
YouTuber,
GilvaSunner, had over one hundred YouTube videos blocked by
Nintendo over copyright claims.
GilvaSunner's channel is dedicated to video
game music, mostly from Nintendo games. Those videos consist of
nothing but
that music, as in no footage of video game gameplay. Nintendo, which certainly
can take this sort of action from an IP standpoint, also doesn't offer any
legit alternative for fans to enjoy this music on any streaming service or the
like. Then, in 2020,
GilvaSunner had another whole swath of videos consisting
of game music blocked by Nintendo over copyright claims. Still no legit
alternative for those looking to enjoy music from Nintendo's celebrated
catalogue of games.
Well, if Nintendo decided to take 2021 off from this annual project, it
certainly has more than made up for it by sending copyright strikes to
GilvaSunner's channel at a volume of over 1,300 in one day."
