Rockstar Taking Down Glitching Videos

[Michael]

Hello everyone, this is a thread where rockstar is taking down any money gltiching videos or glitching from it.

Here is what they say about it on their site:
Question: Am I allowed to post game footage on YouTube or other websites? Can I use copyrighted material on fan sites if it is for non-commercial use and doesn't have spoilers?

Answer: Generally Take-Two Interactive does not object to fans using materials for non-commercial uses in a manner which does not intentionally spoil the plot for others. "Non-commercial" means that you don't sell site membership, or use the material to promote a product you sell on the site like a shirt or wallpaper. Take-Two Interactive does reserve the right to have its copyrighted material taken down at any time. If you have further questions or concerns, please contact copyright@take2games.com

We’re happy for fans to upload footage of their gameplay - we love seeing machinima from our games and even share some of it with our fans on the Rockstar Newswire from time to time. We do have just a few guidelines that we ask you to follow if you are going to post or stream on video sharing sites.

To make our position on this subject easier to understand, we have put together a list of content that, if posted, would result in a take-down notice:

• Pre-Release Footage: No pre-release leaked footage of any kind: Any posting of in-game footage from leaked copies of the game prior to its official release date will be taken down, regardless of how the game was obtained. This includes "early unboxing" videos.
• Spoilers: Posting video showing the ending of the game, pure cutscenes or any other big reveal in the story. It's ok to show cutscenes as part of a larger play-through (or in a narrated ‘Let’s Play’ type video) but isolated videos of the game's cinematics will be removed. If you are unsure if what you want to post is considered a spoiler, please contact copyright@take2games.com and describe exactly what scene you are wondering about and in what context the scene would appear.
• In-game Entertainment: Things like the TV shows and comedy performances in Grand Theft Auto IV, or the silent movies in Red Dead Redemption. We prefer fans to experience these in the context of the game's world, so any posting of these in isolation will be flagged for removal.
• Encouraging Cheating: Videos posted that encourage and promote ways to cheat your way towards gaining illegitimate RP or in-game money or duplicating counterfeit in-game items.

Lastly, we do reserve the right to remove content we find objectionable on a case by case basis & to change our policy from time to time but we do promise that if there is anything we do change we will make sure to let you know.

Of course, if you have any questions about this policy, please don't hesitate to ask by sending an email to copyright@take2games.com.

So, there are many videos discussing their thoughts about this and popular YouTube; Sernandoe who is famous for making car and money glitching

Personally I think youtubers posting videos on how to do certain glitches is great. It helps the game developers iron them out to make it an all-round fair game.

Well regarding fair use, are they even able to take them down?
