In some cases the company making the claim doesn't even own the IP. I remember a case where the youtuber NerdCubed had his Portal videos copyright claimed, even though Valve themselves explicitly states that making videos of their games (and cutscenes) is perfectly okay.
When he contacted Valve they responded - "We didn't make the youtube claim". So SOMEBODY did, but not the actual owners.
- wolco 7y agoSounds like a new business model. Make claims against semi-popular youtubers and get them to agree to share revenue. The best part is you don't need to own the ip you make a claim against. If they challenge take maximum amount of time and withdraw challenge. Keep repeating for new videos until the channel agrees.
