Decadent capitalists thwart North Korea with DMCA takedown

10 02 2013

A truly bizarre North Korean propaganda video posted on YouTube has been taken down after a DMCA complaint by Activision. The video used scenes from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 without the gaming giant’s permission. The scenes, showing an American city in flames, were accompanied by a piano instrumental of the song “We are the World.” (Apparently, Michael Jackson and Lionel Ritchie are high on the playlist on North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un’s HTC smartphone.)

Before its takedown, the video was captured by LiveLeak.
