Samsung Abuses DMCA To Take Down GTA V Exploding Note 7 Mod Videos by dollarprincess(f): 5:47am On Oct 20, 2016
Samsung is not happy about a Grand Theft Auto V mod that turns the literally explosive Galaxy Note 7 into an in-game bomb. The company is trying to erase videos of the mod from YouTube, abusing the DMCA in the process.

DMCA and Copyright Law in the Digital Millennium, a law that specifically relates to the digital copyright infringement. Companies use the DMCA to issue takedown notices to sites like YouTube, when the user copyrighted content such as movies, music or transferred, however the Galaxy Note 7 mod for GTA V does not violate the DMCA.
The mod videos are also quite clearly a satirical parody of the whole exploding Galaxy Note 7 saga, which is generally protected under various laws.

Samsung has only taken down a small selection of GTA V mod videos at this stage, so it's not clear if someone at Samsung has manually requested takedowns for some videos, or whether the process was automatic. In any case, it's still easy to find videos demonstrating the mod's functionality through a simple search.

The GTA V mod the Galaxy Note 7 is remarkably simple: it replaces the sticky bomb with a 3D model of the Note 7, as in game characters react to note 7 in the same way as they would for a regular bomb. Anyone interested in some laughs, the MoD of GTA5-Mods download, thanks HitmanNiko Mud.
