I guess the issue is that content creators ripped Nintendo assets and included them in their Garry's mod creations, is that right? Hope I didn't misread that.

If so, I'm somewhat surprised that a takedown notice can be so expansive as to include all GM content, and not just individually enumerated creations. I'm sure there are dozens or hundreds of IP violating Garry's Mod creations, but also thousands that don't. If there was just one single example of a Garry's Mod user that ripped a single sprite from a single Nintendo game, would that also necessitate a takedown of everyone's content?

Just send your take down and be confident that the other guy will submit to your will simply because he does not want to pay the costs associated with fighting it in court. Even when they win in court, they lose because they went bankrupt while the budgets of the likes of Nintendo and Sony were barely scratched.

- lelandbatey 3y agoIt's not "everything", it's only the Nintendo-related add-ons (user uploaded content) published through Steam. So it's not all of Gmod, it's instead folks whole ripped a Mario skin and put it up as an add-on on steam.
