    It should be noted that this is illegal. „Abusing Youtube‘s copyright system“ really is just a euphemism for actual theft.

      It’s a civil offense though, not a criminal* one. I mean sure Nvidia actually has the lawyers to fight this (assuming this just doesn’t get quietly reversed as a “mistake”) but often false strikes may as well be legal when the person targeted doesn’t have the time/money/willingness/etc to fight it in court.

      * at least at face-value. I guess other charges could happen based on actions and intent (fraud etc), but I wouldn’t expect that to happen without the civil suit nor would I expect the law to actually have the teeth to actually punish a big company for bullying a nobody.

        Since a lot of content creators got a copyright strike from this bad actor I am sure someone will fight this and win easily. Generally speaking it‘s a bad idea to steal someone‘s ad revenue if you‘re from a lawful country like Italy. They win some publicity but lose money from this.
