A fake Nintendo lawyer is scaring YouTubers, and it's not clear YouTube can stop him
Briefly

In a concerning trend, YouTube creators like Dominik "Domtendo" Neumayer find their content removed due to fake takedown requests, reflecting vulnerabilities in the DMCA process.
"The next copyright strike will close your channel"—it’s a stark reminder for content creators like Domtendo that one false move could mean the end of years of hard work.
Despite Nintendo's history of targeting fan projects, the Let's Play genre typically remains untouched as it acts as free promotion for their titles, creating confusion regarding copyright enforcement.
Domtendo's experience highlights a significant issue: YouTube acknowledges that over six percent of takedown requests could be fake, emphasizing the need for creators to be vigilant against potential abuse.
