Yesterday, Samsung filed a copyright claim on a viral video of a Grand Theft Auto V mod that turns the notoriously explosion-prone Galaxy Note 7 into, well, a bomb. The video got taken down, even though it clearly wasnāt in violation of any copyrights.
After the video got taken down, the videoās creator, who goes by the handle sdaddy345, said heād filed a counter-claim against Samsung, noting that the video had done great things for his fledgling YouTube channel. It appears to have worked.
The video is back up, and sdaddy345 has posted his correspondence with YouTube to show how it all went down. YouTube said theyād review the counter claim, and now, one day later, the videoās back. Sorry, Samsung. Granted, if you didnāt want everybody making fun of you, you probably shouldāve tested your phones to ensure they didnāt fucking explode first. Just a thought!
