content: FYI, GamersNexus uploads to Rumble as well:https://rumble.com/v6xro9o--the-nvidia-ai-gpu-black-market-smuggling-corruption-and-global-scandal-.htmlQuote from: Simmed on August 25, 2025, 08:49:17 amI doubt Bloomberg will suffer any consequences either. This kind of DMCA abuse has been happening virtually since the inception of youtube, with no companies being penalised AFAIK. Even though claimants are required to consider fair use, especially when it's one clip in a 3hr documentary. It's supposedly illegal to make DMCA claims like this but I guess when youre a massive company doing it
