every couple months there is a new burning of the library of alexandria

Apparently it's not even Nintendo, but trolls. Just that this is such a Nintendo thing to do that GMod doesn't want to even risk it

EDIT: So the domain is owned by MarkMonitor, a service that monitors for copyright infringement and sends DMCAs. Nintendo HAS used them before. So that clears up any confusion there

Fyi, you might want to add a notice to your post that lets people know that it appears to be part of an ongoing series of false-dmcas from someone using a fake Nintendo-lookalike domain.

One of these days a Corp is going to push hard enough they get their rights stripped away for not meeting the 'to promote the progress of science and useful arts' part of the copyright clause and i'm starting to wonder if the big N is going to be the winner.

This wouldn't even be GMod's responsibility? Valve owns the steam workshop, so anything violating DMCA should go to steam, not GMod. It's not like GMod themselves are hosting the content.

Gonna fully sweep the workshop based off a claim that 'might' be Nintendo but won't take down servers glorifying one of the worst points in human history

Why? It's explicitly unrated online content not covered by any terms.

20 years they've had to DMCA this. They should lose the right to do so after that long.

Yeah, time to move away from the workshop.

Can we go back to svn links for mods?

Is garrysmod.org still a thing?

Good! Nintendo is a tiny indy company, and you shouldn't be mad at them for this. How else will Miyamoto and Sakurai put food on the table? Think of poor Nintendo and all the billions of dollars these gMod creations cost them!

So many SFM videos that use Link and Mario models straight up ripped from their games will no longer be made. :(
