That framing doesn't do him and the team justice. There is (or better, was) a 3.5h long story about NVIDIA GPUs finding their ways illegaly from the US to China, which got taken down by a malicious DMCA claim from Bloomberg. It is quite interesting to watch (Can be found archive.org).
GN is one of the last pro-consumer outlets, that keep on digging and shaking the tree big companys are sitting on.
While they can't publish it themselves this at least achieves the goal of the information being spread, along with the knowledge that it was their investigative team that did the work in the first place.
But yes, once they reedit and republish themselves (or manage some sort of appeal and republish as-is) then of course linking to that (and a smaller cut of the parts they've had to change because Bloomberg were litigious arseholes, if only to highlight that their copyright claim here is somewhat ridiculous) would be much better.
It sounds like their lawyers have done the appropriate counter-challenge with YouTube, so the video will go back up unless Bloomberg sues them in the next so many days. And this is Gamers Nexus, so I presume they will fight to keep it as is on principle.
Personally, I found the length of the quotes from politicians kind of tedious, but I sure wouldn’t want them to capitulate to Bloomberg after this.
They do not "need" it since that movie was crowd funded with over 400k anyways and AdSense are pittance in comparison. They also have indirectly promoted that reupload.
