Nintendo is already known for being ruthless when it comes to their IP copyright, but this time they've really gone above and beyond.

Nintendo's copyright police have struck again, this time targeting a 7-year-old video, by YouTuber NoahJ456.
Nintendo Strikes 7-Year-Old Video
YouTuber NoahJ456 just got hit with a copyright strike that's left everyone scratching their heads. Apparently, Nintendo's copyright police decided to target a video Noah uploaded way back in 2017. The video, titled "NEW POKÉMON ZOMBIES...", featured modded content showcasing Pokémon within the Call of Duty Zombies game mode.

The strike, filed by The Pokémon Company International, targeted the video's use of copyrighted Pokémon characters. While Nintendo is well-known for its strict stance on their IP, the timing of the takedown is still weird. But we all know Nintendo and how they are a bit like that meme of the grumpy old man yelling "get off my lawn!" at anything Pokemon-related.
Lately, it feels like Nintendo has been increasing their surveillance for copyright violations...
Some comments call this a case of "Nintendo's pettiness reaching new heights" while others suggest that it is simply a case of the Pokémon Company wanting to be more protective of its copyrights.Regardless of the reasons for the strike, the situation serves as a reminder for content creators to brush up on copyright laws, especially if their content includes anything related to Nintendo...
