Aaron Peters | Steam Workshop's Nintendo Add-ons Takedown | Know Your Meme

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.

Stickied comment FeatherThePirate MOD 10d ago. Parrot It was a DMCA troll, not Nintendo itself. Vote Reply ↑ Share solidsnakes453 OP⚫ 10d ago What does a dmca troll mean? Is it just like a false copyright claim? 30⇓ Reply ↑ Share FeatherThePirate • 10d ago Parrot A copyright troll is a party (person or company) that enforces copyrights it owns for purposes of making money through strategic litigation,[1] in a manner considered unduly aggressive or opportunistic, sometimes without producing or licensing the works it owns for paid distribution. Critics object to the activity because they believe it does not encourage the production of creative works, but instead makes money through the inequities and unintended consequences of high statutory damages provisions in copyright laws intended to encourage creation of such works.[2] ↑ 59⇓ 4 more replies UnVincent 10d ago Is this confirmed?
