DMCA abuse.
If it was an abuse it could be challenged but there are no grounds as Sega owns leaked stuff.
Just because someone owns the copyright to something doesn’t mean it’s illegal to distribute. Fair use.
Is this why no one challenged Atlus on their streaming restrictions successfully?
Ah yes the famously zero risk action of signing a legal form under penalty of perjury.
“Getting robbed? Just say no! Robbers cannot legally rob you if you say no!”
You can challenge DMCA and the other side has to actually follow up in court. If you’re sure of your case why has nobody done it? There are loads of people with financial incentive to do so which is enough to get things going in capitalism usually. My guess? They know there’s no case and Atlus can do it legally.
No, the filer has another appeal (same form) then it’s up to the uploader to sue.
Because legal battles with massive corporations are time consuming, expensive, and risky?
The announcement: “We regret to inform our fans that Persona 6 has been canceled.”
