The SPIDER-MAN: MILES MORALES Trailer on PlayStation's YouTube Page Was Copyright Claimed By Gameloft

The Spider-Man: Miles Morales video was taken down by a mobile company named Gameloft, who has had history with the IP. But why? & why does YouTube keep getting worse & worse everyday?

YouTube's terrible copyright system is back at it again!

If you went back to the Spider-Man: Miles Morales trailer again recently (Can't blame you, it's awesome), you'll probably notice that the view count is no longer at 11 million, but now at, 2 million? Huh?

Why is that? Well, there are two major factors:

That, & the fact that YouTube's broken copyright policies allows for pretty much any company to take down any video or channel at their own discretion. Needless to say, Sony is definitely going to be looking into this & getting lawyers involved. 

Gameloft is a French mobile game publisher that has developed some Spider-Man games for mobile devices over the years, such as Spider-Man: Total Mayhem, The Amazing Spider-Man 1 & 2, both which were impressively open-world, & the now shut-down Spider-Man Unlimited, which was an endless runner/swinger.

This is all most likely another error in YouTube's algorithm, as the video did get reinstated, fortunately. But this is also just more proof that something needs to be done about their copyright system, since people can abuse it & channels big or small could get taken down without cause. Welp, time to get the video back to 11 million views, people! 

Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales is coming to the PS5 holiday 2020.

Sony Copyright striking every video that reported on the Last Of Us 2 leaks (Or even generally commented on how terrible the game is) along with basically trying to take down entire channels was a much worse exploitation of Youtube's awful copyright system honestly.

Glad someone got them back, even though it is unfortunately short lived.

@Scarilian - I think it is even worse than that, you have the DMCA laws which are just awful and you have Google obeying the orders.

I also agree that Sony over stepped how they handled the whole Last Of Us ll situation.

Well, silver lining, this might actually get things changed. These claims are frequent problems for several youtubers regardless of if they fell under fair use or not but the problem kept persisting because none of them were big enough to get the youtube higher ups to care. Now a major company's having trouble with it and may end up pursuing legal action over this. They're definitely gonna want to fix the problem now.

And they dont do anything to punish those that wrongfully accuse channels, so it keeps happening. People can easily claim this shit without any repercussions.

Copyright laws that were written in ancient times can go to the same hell where those morons who wrote them to begin with has gone and those scums who continue to push them will go.
