Aaron Peters

Aaron Peters 2 Days Ago, 6,724 views I thought it would die down, but I'm still getting a ton of dms, voicemails, emails and actual physical hand written letters about this. so I thought it would be a good idea to present evidence to shut people up. The Domain There's a claim that the DMCA takedowns are fake because the domain isn't Nintendo's domain, the "-mm" on the end proves that its fake, because a Nintendo domain wouldn't have that. It's an obvious forgery. No-one stopped to ask why use a fake domain at all. Why not just be like "aaron.peters@nintendo.com" - it would be more believable. If they did that, would you think it was real? No? So what difference does it make. Mark Monitor The domain isn't really owned by Nintendo. It's most likely owned by the company they subcontract this stuff to. Rather than pay someone in-house to watch the internet and issue takedowns, they subcontract that to another company. This company is acting on Nintendo's behalf, under the instruction of Nintendo. It makes sense that Nintendo wouldn't want to give them an official email address on nintendo.com-that is not good practice. We know Nintendo use Mark Montior. They talk about it openly and information is available on their official website. Aaron Peters This guy doesn't exist. Well, he might, but I don't think he does. If you look at the history of takedowns, you will notice they started as real Nintendo employees. Then they all switched to Aaron. I would guess that this is because the internet is full of crazies. So it makes sense that you invent a name to be the target of that stuff. Let the internet shout at an empty chair. Confirmation The other small nugget of information that people seem to be ignoring is that multiple people have had confirmation from Nintendo themselves. Including us. You would think that would kind of trump every other conspiracy theory, but for some reason this ARG won't die, even after it's been cremated, and buried. Anger I don't really understand the anger people have shown about this stuff. It doesn't seem logical to me. Maybe I grew up in a different time where IP, trademarks and copyright laws were obvious no brainers. Maybe because of streaming and Steam this generation grew up without real piracy. Maybe they don't understand all that because they can post music and videos in their memes on tiktok and no-one gets p-----. The attitude shouldn't be anger and outrage that it is being stopped; it should be surprise and delight that you got away with it for so long. Companies letting you use their IP like this isn't the default. When a company lets you get away with using their IP in UGC in another game they're a cool company. When they don't, they're a normal company.

Final Update re: Clearing up some confusion

Clearing up some confusion Posted by sks316 on May 25, 2024 at 11:25PM. Hi, I helped Vimm with this, and I'm seeing some people still refer to this as the work of a copyright troll. This wasn't the work of a copyright troll. If you read the post, you'll see that Nintendo contracted some of their copyright work to OpSec Security, who used Visual AI to detect infringement and issue takedowns. That makes these claims legitimate, but if you read the quote from the claims, they only wanted the images removed - that's why Vimm was able to put the games back up. I have a strong suspicion that these claims were never even reviewed by a human, but that doesn't make them any less legitimate. I've said it many times, and I'll say it again: Copyright law and AI will be the downfalls of humanity. So, TL;DR: The claims were legitimate, but they were made by AI and only wanted images removed. I hope this clears some things up!

Vimm liar 'Final Update' post

Final Update Posted by Vimm on May 25, 2024 at 12:53PM. As promised, here's more on the recent DMCA notices. Last week six notices were sent from brand-protection@mm-nintendo.com with the following text: I write to report that the website listed below includes links to images that infringe on copyrights owned by Nintendo of America Inc. A full list of URLs with infringing images. In addition, the site displays Nintendo's trademarks and other intellectual property (including characters) which is likely to lead to consumer confusion. A list of Vault urls followed. Images in The Vault consist of box scans, disc scans, and title screens. Just to be safe all media was taken offline. I've read lots of speculation this request is fake and people make many good points, yet circumstantial evidence (no matter how juicy) is not proof. Here's some of the biggest claims. 1. mm-nintendo.com is a fake domain that's not owned nor operated by Nintendo. Corporations contract out services all the time. That doesn't make them any less real. mm-nintendo.com is registered by MarkMonitor, a known brand protection company. The operator claims to represent Nintendo of America and Garry's Mod can attest they do. 2. It's a DMCA troll spoofing mm-nintendo.com. Email spoofing is easy to do but nowadays it's just as easy to detect. 3. It's too random to be real and there's obvious mistakes. It must be a troll. Fair point, but there's two little letters nobody's talking about. A. I. Picture a crude bot with lax oversight and suddenly it all makes sense. Look closer and mm-nintendo.com uses opsecsecurity.com for email. One of their services is Protecting Online Brand Identity and Reputation and this feature jumps out: Visual Artificial Intelligence (AI) to spot more forms of infringement. Infringements often manifest in online brand logos, trademarked text, and product imagery. Our platform uses Visual AI to focus on these visual aspects of branding and related media. By augmenting text-based detection, Visual AI is not restricted by channel, and also mitigates emerging threats. Visual AI organizes potential infringements by indicators found in the image for efficiency and enforcement at scale. Sounds perfect for detecting evil screen shots of beloved Nintendo characters. Some of the claims are clearly invalid (like Kamisama no Marionette) but frankly it's not worth poking the bear. Downloads have been restored but to appease Skynet the box scans, disc scans, and title screens of the requested games will remain offline. Vimm In reply to: Weekend Update posted by Vimm on May 19, 2024 at 5:56AM. I've read lots of speculation online and people make some very good points. I'm still piecing things together, but everything's quiet right now and I hope to explain more next weekend.

Please help me understand. 1. If the one big tell that these are fake is the email domain being "mm- nintendo.com," why do they use the wrong domain? Wouldn't they have more luck if they just used a fake nintendo.com email address? 2. If they have a different domain, does that mean they're not working on behalf of Nintendo? 3. Has anyone got confirmation that it's fake from Nintendo at any time in the last 10 years? 4. Have we got any confirmed REAL Nintendo DMCA takedowns that are different? 5. If they don't work for Nintendo why have they been doing this s--- for 10 years? How is it still a fun troll for 10 years?

This is not a mistake, the takedowns came from Nintendo. Honestly, this is fair enough. This is Nintendo's content and what they allow and don't allow is up to them. They don't want you playing with that stuff in Garry's Mod - that's their decision, we have to respect that and take down as much as we can. This is an ongoing process, as we have 20 years of uploads to go through. If you want to help us by deleting your Nintendo related uploads and never uploading them again, that would help us a lot.

False Link

darkghost38 • 3y ago Nintendo is no saint and it has done a lot of s----- things but just so everybody knows These DMCA's are likely fake btw. The email address used, "notice@mm-nintendo.com", is a completely different domain to Nintendo's actual domain, "nintendo.com" "mm-nintendo.com" simply redirects to "nintendo.com", in the attempt to make it seem related to Nintendo's legitimate domain, but such a redirect can be trivially configured by any third party site The WHOIS and other DNS information for the two domains are also completely different, the fraudulent domain having only been active since 2013, being held by a completely different registrar with different domain settings, etc. -The fraudulent domain's DNS information includes only two records of note - an entry redirecting email to Google's email servers, indicating the perpetrator likely used Gmail or Gsuite together with their fake domain, and a web server serving a redirect to "nintendo.com" The IP address of this web server - 72.52.10.14 - is simply a virtual instance in a cloud, a notorious technique of hackers and spammers, and has no relation to any official Nintendo networks There is no individual identified in the request as making the necessary declarations; a DMCA request must be made by an identifiable individual to be valid, and this would coincidentally make it very easy to confirm with Nintendo whether such a request was ever sent When queried directly, Nintendo confirmed that any such emails from them are expected to be from the "nintendo.com" domain Certain errors in both the format of the request and the language used suggest the writer is not a native speaker (or is a particularly badly educated one, even for an American) and not legally trained, neither of which would be likely from Nintendo of America proper Further research easily surfaces instances where this email address has been used to take down fan games on several occasions and has even been spotted targeting Twitter avatars. More broadly, DMCA claims against numerous fan projects by "Nintendo" have been ongoing for years, and whilst some are undoubtedly genuine there are enough apparently fraudulent claims occurring for there to be grounds to doubt just how many of these claims are actually legitimate.
