YouTube certainly can, they just don’t care enough.
I don’t think they can do much at all, actually. They’re not allowed much wiggle room when it comes to being DMCA-compliant. They pretty much have to take every takedown request at face value, because DMCA requests are a legal process, and I imagine that any intervention on YouTube’s side could be seen as arbitration. I doubt they could do much to interfere with an impersonator, since even a falsely-submitted DMCA complaint is still a legal request that has to be processed accordingly.
The DMCA needs to be gutted.
Nintendo can do something, though. They’re the ones being impersonated, so they can actually take the guy to court.
Platforms actually do get more leeway than is usually thought with DMCA takedown requests. If they believe it to be fraudulent, they have every right to disregard it. That’s a fact they conveniently try to downplay because they want people to think they have no responsibility for their actions.
Nintendo’s lawyers are too busy doing DMCA claims of videos for 5 seconds worth of sound or video to go after a guy making a false claim in their name
Yeah, that’s bullshit. You can tell by the fact that they don’t take down videos from big corporations when some nobody trolls with a fraudulent DMCA request. They only do it when it’s the other way around.
The troll was able to spoof the Nintendo.co.jp domain because Nintendo didn’t setup their DMARC settings correctly. They have it setup but with policy “none” instead of “reject”. What a bunch of dumb asses. Such a big company doesn’t even protect their domains against spoofing. Probably why they got hacked, they don’t invest enough in IT security. Though this is typical for Japanese corporations.

Bruh nintendo seems starkly opposed to getting even ok at modern networking.
Probably why they got hacked,
Which time lmao, weren’t there like 4 gigaleaks?
Well, they still use internet Explorer, http sans s and fax machines.
When asked why, their response, roughly translated, was “we just want to play eroge ¯\_(ツ)_/¯”
Why do people even play Nintendo games inspite of Nintendo’s abusive behaviour is beyond me
Just play Indie Titles
Thier games are pretty good.
No it isn’t, it’s the same thing all over again Just get AA studios to make an equivalent
