Nintendo takes down the Breath of the Wild randomizer mod from Gamebanana
Another day, another Nintendo DMCA takedown against fan-made content.
Just a few minutes ago, Nintendo issued a DMCA takedown notice against a widely known and popular Randomizer mod for Breath of the Wild made by Waikuter and hosted in Gamebanana. Effective immediately, the mod in question has been completely removed from Gamebanana with the quote "This Mod has been trashed for a rule violation", with the rule violation in question being listed as "DMCA Takedown".
The full message for the DMCA takedown is also displayed thereafter:
DMCA Takedown Notice said:
It's important to note that, as it has been the case with other recent takedowns seen from Nintendo, this was issued from the domain "mm-nintendo.com", which is a MarkMonitor operator for Nintendo themselves to issue these kind of take downs and notices.
It seems that Nintendo has started to handle takedowns in what looks to be an automated/bot process through MarkMonitor, as several other places with mods and Nintendo assets, like imagery and its characters, have been receiving the same notices from that mm-nintendo.com domain, like in the case of Gmod and its takedown of 20 years-long Nintendo assets, and it's worth mentioning that romsites have also been receiving these particular notices as of late from the same domain.
