You do not want to inflict a YouTube style Content ID system onto mod makers as that leaves them unable to fight back against fraudulent claims.Mods in Fallout 4 have long been promised for Xbox One and PS4, and now we know when they are coming.

While they do abide by the DMCA system too, for the most part it's the ContentID system that is abused because the DMCA requires that a person making a takedown request provide their full name and address, which leaves you open to lawsuits.Įdit to address your edit: leaving it in the hands of the DMCA means removing Bethesda's liability while also protecting mod makers by providing them legitimate legal access to sue thieves should a thief try to fight back. If they aren't taking them down fast, they lose their protection for having the stolen content in their possession.Īnd for all of you who are about to say "But what about YouTube?!?!1!!1!" in reference to abuses of takedowns there, YouTube has ContentID takedowns that are most often abused. The DMCA requires rapid takedowns, which courts generally evaluate to be within 24 hours of the request being sent.
They've already addressed the piracy thing: Use the already-existing DMCA-takedown process. The DMCA Takedown and Youtubes Content ID system are not the same, and the former is very much a legal complaint under pains of perjury.

If it wasn't, if a developer could magically crack down on pirated/copyrighted work, don't you think someone would have stepped to the plate by now?Įdit: Youtube uses Content ID, and very rarely reaches the stage of a DMCA claim*. Community policing is really the only way to go. Even if they knew 100% it was pirated, the original maker could have a deal with the original poster to use/upload it. The modder who holds the rights in question would need to file a DMCA claim, then Bethesda can respond by removing the post, and finally if it's proven stolen, they can remove the mod and ban the user (This is where linking your Steam and Bethesda accnt come in)īut they can't just remove it because people report it, or just because they feel like it. So what is Bethesda going to do to punish users? Not much of anything because they can't initiate it. The only option Bethesda has is to allow an avenue for community policing, through a Report button or the likes. Valve can't issue a claim for you, nor can they remove the offending material until there is a complaint. It's why you see so much copyrighted material on Steam. Valve, and Bethesda, aren't responsible nor obligated to police your IP for you. Their responsibility is to respond immediately when they get notice of a DMCA claim against a product on their service. Where is Bethesda's content ID system (since this is how YouTube handles DMCA before a DMCA claim is required)?īethesda isn't any more responsible to police copyright/pirated material than Valve is with Steam. Is this still within the definition of a 'rapid takedown' as is required by the DMCA? Right now the only way to report a DMCA claim is to send an e-mail and according to the blog post it takes weeks for the offending content to be taken down. Shouldn't Bethesda make it easier for mod authors to report DMCA claims? Wouldn't it make sense for them to actually have a fully fleshed out reporting system?
Adding my questions from below to this post to continue the conversation. (Not the reddit post, bethesda's post)ĮDIT: So apparently DMCA is the appropriate route for mod authors to get their work removed if pirated. It just means that you now need to have a copy of FO4 to upload which should have been a requirement to begin with.

What is Bethesda going to do to punish the users that legitimately don't care if their Steam ID is linked to their account? Is this steam ID link on the account public? Is it something that is reportable now? This is the problem, and at no point does this update stop the piracy.
While the blog post is a little emotional, his points are valid. This is probably in response to the very long blog post (timestamp shows otherwise) that was posted over ( ) This automatically links your account to your Steam ID.Īt no point did Bethesda address the potential piracy issue whatsoever.
