Rockstar has issued a copyright strike against Mike Dailly’s old development footage. These videos are from over 10 years ago, and were used to show off his prototype work that he did for the game. Rockstar told him that they were not authorized to use it, and requested that he take it down from YouTube.
This is not the first time Rockstar has used copyright strikes on YouTube channels who have published unofficial footage of their games before they were released. They have also done this with other games, such as Red Dead
The video game company, Rockstar Games, has allegedly issued copyright strikes against two videos by original Grand Theft Auto developer Mike Dailly. The video game company is known for issuing copyright strikes to any GTA video they can find.
Rockstar Games has been in the news for a while now due to their aggressive stance on copyright infringement.
There is little to no development documentation surrounding the creation of the Grand Theft Auto series, with only a handful of videos from the original developers who worked at DMA during the series’ early days. However, Dailly’s allegation suggests that Rockstar is currently targeting those videos. This is the first notable public mention of this.
It has been claimed that Grand Theft Auto 6 will take place in an area based on Miami, and may feature a female playable character.
Bloomberg reports that the game, which it claims began development sometime in 2014, is “at least two years away”.
