the only assets used that Electronic Arts actually own? the Martin Sheen voiceovers, which were heavily edited for use in the video, undeniably transformative enough to fall under fair use. The music was licensed to EA/Bioware for use in the game; they do not own the rights to it.

I hope Trump pays for legal fees so Mark F (Immigrants 4 Trump) can fight back against EA.

Whether they "approve" of it or not means nothing, it falls under fucking fair use. These people are breaking the damn LAW and yet nothing is ever done about it, it pisses me off so much constantly hearing about this kind of stuff.

Be a waste of money, there is no consequence to filing a false copryight claim on youtube, just that the video would be put back up

but no one outside of content creators really care.
hopefully Donald "We're gonna open up the libel laws" Trump will do something about companies that fraudulently file DMCA claims to push people around

Sad to say, he's right. The ignorance and apathy of people has reached a point where companies don't even need to be subtle about all this. I wouldn't be surprised if they just gave the middle finger salute to all of us in public and say "We're taking all your videos down!" and face little enough objection.
