Hacking /!\WARNING/!\ Youtube + SX OS Video = Strike

[drfunkenstein2k]

A few months ago i read an article on torrentfreak which is a news blog devoted to piracy. This article stated that youtube will start to target videos that promote piracy or help enable piracy. The first targets were videos of setting up Kodi and the multiple addons to watch pirate streams and movies. I also heard some PSVita henkaku videos were taken down. What makes some videos stay up and some come down? I am still not sure.

Lets be frank about SX-OX. If you have this device you have booted an xci or a nsp.
You did not buy this device to play super mario bros NES,SNES on your switch.

Ive been modding systems and computers since i was a kid. The first system i modded was a Playstation 1. I modded it with a mod chip in 2000 so i could play VCDs. That lasted about 4 months until i found out the true power of the chip.... lol
Everyone hides behind the "i want to run homebrew" thing. Giving them a sense of this is OK.
I do believe once you buy the console it is yours. I do believe if you want to mod it or jailbreak you can and should!
But once you download and boot that copyrighted game.... you are in the wrong. you have stolen even if its from a multi-million dollar company.

As i said i've been modding consoles longer than most. Since i was 17 and I am 35 now. I have seen the efforts of Sony, Microsoft and well Nintendo never did a good job to protect themselves from this.
If you are one of those that used freeshop on 3DS or CDNSP..... You have literally been A$$Fuc*** Nintendo for a long time. The ride is over.
As always piracy is a cat and mouse game and the cat is very much awake now.

Youtube will not play by fair rules. Do not expect them to take back strikes or to be very helpful. Prepare to witness customer service via bots and pre-written messages.

Fascinating.
I notice by your flag, you're from Portugal?
In America, we have something called the first amendment. It protects freedom of speech. You can have bomb-making guides and other "extreme" content (all a matter of opinion).
Freedom of speech doesn't protect content you agree with. It was specifically designed to protect speech you DON'T agree with. Including things that may be deemed potentially damaging to a company's profits like showing how to commit piracy on a platform. And I say "potentially" because it has never been proven that piracy leads to lower sales. In fact, many studies have shown that piracy actually increases sales.
If you notice, companies' legal teams have to deploy all their resources to squashing people, but if it ever goes to trial, they completely lose under first amendment claims. They always go for summary judgement to see if they can get injunctions and things like that and most people end up settling (like that PS3 hacker who agreed to not hack Sony products for life and all those other weird restrictions).

How is revealing information freely about how to hack a Nintendo system any different that Zero Day exploits of how to hack a browser and gain control of a PC (which Google reveals publicly)? It's not. Corporate interests do not trump the individual rights of people. Maybe in socialist countries they do, but not in freedom-loving countries like America - we actually respect liberty.

though what you say is true, these videos are most of the time banned globally. feel free to lawyer up vs Youtube. Because thats how it works in America. Somebody violates your rights and you lawyer up. If you don't then you lose.

As long as you don't feature any kind of gameplay of sorts, Nintendo can't do shit about videos with SX OS on the system.
Fight hard for the videos, Nintendo is going too fucking hard on this and they have NO legal grounds to do this.
You are not infringing any kind of copyright, EULA or any law.

Fuck Nintendo in the ass, show them they are not above the law.
They can't and should not do this.

google and youtube are more to blame than Nintendo
they are shutting down all the videos that are not their MCN shit tier garbage
this is what happens when you allow a certain racist ethnocentric racial minority group to totally monopolize all of the media ,hollywood ,and the internet
they are going to destroy everything , they shut down airsoft enthusiast community the shut down the cannabis cultivation, they shut down cryptocurrency videos they shut down darknet videos , they are going to turn the entire internet into the fucking disney channel starting with youtube
they will take down everything roms emulators rpi retro pi vids there will be nothing left that you don't have to pay them for and it will all be shit
they also shut down blamo and terrarium today too

pretty funny that all of this is happening on 911 , terrarium TV blamo being shut down and now modding community videos being shut down
pretty funny since the same ethnic minority who did 911 also are behind this same people who own and run hollywood and most of the internet

i will say it again
NASIM AGHDAM , PATRON SAINT OF YOUTUBERS DID ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG

Corporate interests do not trump the individual rights of people.

You seem to forget that YouTube isn't a public forum or library or city hall where freedom of speech applies, they are a private for-profit video hosting service whose Terms of Service allow them to remove any content for literally any reason. Corporate profits definitely trump individual rights on YouTube, and you won't find a single judge or sane lawyer who says otherwise.

There are real 1st Ammendment issues that need to be fought for. SX OS on YouTube isn't one of them.

YouTube is a public forum. It operates and thrives on infrastructures built for public use. If Mark Zuckerberg can be called to testify under oath on behalf of Facebook, YouTube could be brought to the courtroom to defend its policies.


I honestly feel that this represents a larger issue with YouTube policies. They tend to simply give content the axe as soon as any complaint is issued. There is no arbitration or negotiation. These kind of disputes should be discussed, not blackballed.

Zuckerberg lost data of millions of people.. its not quite the same to taking down a video. We are a nation of censorship after all.. cough cough FCC
Lawyers are not exactly running to help this scene or community which is greatly shrouded in shadows/illegal activity.

Apparently you missed the broader point presented. The issues I spoke of with YouTube aren’t rooted in the console hacking community, it’s in the treatment of anyone who another entity feels has violated any legal or ethical standards. YouTube simply removes it. Idk about other places in the world, but America claims “innocent until proven guilty.” This means that if a complaint is issued, shouldn’t there be a process of some arbitration at the very least? Shouldn’t the content creator be given the benefit of the doubt and asked to defend the content before it’s simply removed?

If the platform had competition, this wouldn’t even be an issue. But the attempts at forming it have been torpedoed.

Has anyone already mentioned that OP didn't deliver much to work with?

1 - What exactly has been shown in the video?

2 - What is the exact content Nintendo claimed or what reason did they state (there's always a description of that)?

So much fuzz about something that is merely an assumption of a connection (SXOS = copyright claim) rather than an actual proven connection.

With as much information as we got about the issue they could have (maybe rightfully, maybe not) claimed gameplay that was shown in order to demonstrate the results of using SXOS. And unless OP only showed homebrew running, that'd be highly probable.

Nintendo does claim their content whenever possible regarding visuals and sound of their games. I experienced that multiple times. SXOS being a part of the videos could be a coincidence, unless someone can present a video that only shows SXOS without copyrighted gameplay.

Btw, what's with those conspiracy theories? I thought that this was about a video being claimed by Nintendo.

Yup, I did yesterday. The OP hasn't come back, this is a typical fire-and-forget thread that presents a dubious claim with no effort put into sourcing it. All too common here, unfortunately.

Again, they might be entirely truthful about what happened but I am not seeing any evidence.

i'll try to be careful and wait for the copyright strike to be gone

There was no gameplay shown in the video
They didn't mentionned what they claimed, here's some screenshots :

They need to be more careful taking it down as "copyright" when they own none of the footage featured in the video. Taking it down as a ToS violation actually would be better for them, since AFAIK there are less options available for a ToS violation appeal.

It says nintendo above it

If it were official nintendo it would have an @nintendo.com or some other official nintendo email domain. A Gmail address is pretty fishy for an email there. I've gotten some previous copyright notices from nintendo, and they were never a Gmail address

Nah it's not. They have plenty of agencies working beneath them that they hire for this. It's def Nintendo

My SX OS videos got striked by this same mail address so I looked it up and contacted them. It is a mail address from the Belgian Anti-Piracy Federation

that is not cool

 

[SaffronXL]

The Belgian Anti-piracy Federation uses a Gmail address? WTF kind of shitshow are they running? I will agree that, after being presented the details, this takedow is absolutely ridiculous.

The EU has been on a roll the last few days

 

[ByteBite]

Never thought an official body like the Belgian Anti-Piracy Federation would use a fucking Gmail address instead of, I don't know, something ending in .be...

Anyway, they've been working with Nintendo for a while. See this newsletter from 2013:

Nintendo Collaborates with the Belgian Anti-Piracy Federation (BAF) Against 3DS Game Copiers. Nintendo applauds the work underway by the Belgian video game industry association, BAF, for its activities to curtail the marketing of 3DS game copiers. Since the release of the Gateway 3DS device (August 2013), BAF has removed over 70 YouTube infringing tutorials posted by consumers and distributors related to the use of the circumvention devices. Prior to removal, the videos were available in a number of different languages, including Dutch, French, German, Italian, Spanish and English.

The video title makes it sound like you were maybe running a giveaway? That probably didn't make them happy either.

Sometimes we get used to things even if they are illegal. From a legal point of view SX is affecting Nintendo's revenue, if SX didn't exist then people will buy those games instead of downloading them. Also I have read in some posts that some people are proposing modding services online (or selling modded consoles) , be careful with that, I can only talk about the US but you can go to jail
