Overview
- NVIDIA’s DLSS 5 announcement video on YouTube now shows a regional block in Italy after Italian TV channel La7 claimed copyright on footage from the trailer.
- YouTube’s automated systems matched the clip across the site and removed videos at scale, which included NVIDIA’s own upload of the trailer.
- TeamYouTube said Content ID use is monitored, warned that repeat erroneous claimants can lose access, and told affected users to wait up to 30 days for a response.
- Creators who covered the trailer say the takedowns are wrong and report channel strikes that could threaten their livelihoods if not reversed.
- The trailer had millions of views and had already drawn scrutiny for how it changed character faces, so the blocks also limit public review and archiving of a widely debated tech demo.
