We ruled out Nintendo being the culprit because of the following reasons:

1: Gmod Nintendo addons have been around as early as late 2005-early 2006

2: if Nintendo wanted them taken down they'd file a complaint with Valve like Warner did with Harry Potter.

[PSA] False flaggers on the Garry's Mod Workshop.

There is someone, or a group of trolls going around the Gmod workshop filing false DMCA claims and shutting down addons, over 10 Gmod addon makers, myself included have been attacked, with over a dozen of our addons gone.

Piss brain

piss brain 31 May 2024 >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. I wouldn't even say "cool" company, more like they just don't care enough to do anything about it. People get attached to brands and forget that the companies behind them aren't their buddies. Of course this was going to happen at some point but Nintendoids are so brainwashed by Mario and Zelda that their heckin Nintenderino could never ever ever ever ever do something like this. This is probably baby's first sitewide takedown for a lot of these people, but h--------.

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

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!

THE LIBRARY OF ALEXANDRIA IS ON FIRE

NRO @link16tdl THE LIBRARY OF ALEXANDRIA IS ON FIRE ED Wed, April 24 do stuff on Steam Workshop rking on removing all Nintendo related stuff from Steam Workshop u may have noticed that certain Nintendo related workshop items have recently been taken down. This e takedowns came from Nintendo. his is fair enough. This is Nintendo's content and what they allow and don't allow is up to them. They do with that stuff in Garry's Mod - that's their decision, we have to respect that and take down as much a ngoing process, as we have 20 years of uploads to go through. If you want to help us by deleting your ads and never uploading them again, that would help us a lot. Rate Up 1,790 Discuss • 8:33 PM Apr 24, 2024 1.2M Views • Sha CAKEWAY BB MPH

I've got some legit questions for the it's fake guys. There are a lot of walls of text and 900 page steam forum threads that I'm not gonna read through. Please help me understand.

garry @garrynewman I've got some legit questions for the it's fake guys. There are a lot of walls of text and 900 page steam forum threads that I'm not gonna read through. 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?
