Samsung Seems to Dislike GTA V's New Mod, Demanded YouTube to Block the Video!
Since the release of the Samsung Galaxy Note 7, it suffered the infamous explosion that made an outburst in the internet. Note 7 explosions became the face of internet memes and humors, and the gaming industry did not let that pass.
According to Gamespot, Samsung has issued a DMCA takedown against a YouTube video that featured the modification.
Basically, the mod is simple as the standard sticky bomb is replaced by Samsung Galaxy Note 7. So, when the user throws the phone or Samsung Note 7, it is deadly and explosive as the sticky bomb.
Hate is a strong word, so let's say Samsung did not like a lot. Samsung went kind of emotional since the discontinuation of the said phone.
Based on The Verge, Samsung overruled by reporting a sham report. The mod that is created by 'HitmanNiko', he did not copy anything yet the original video was removed due to 'copyright' claim. The only reason why it should be taken down is because of the mod's wittiness took a multi-billion-dollar company as the official laughingstock of the gaming world.
On the other hand, it was on the internet, which means that it will always be on the internet. Several videos are still on YouTube; it would be a long road if Samsung will try to take those down through its 'copyright'.
