YouTube Lets Copyright Abuser Block NVIDIA DLSS 5 Videos...

TL;DR

Italian TV channel LA7 exploited YouTube's automated Content ID system to copyright-claim DLSS 5 videos, even taking down Nvidia's own official announcement.

Key Points

• 1.LA7 TV, an Italian channel, mass-claimed DLSS 5 videos it doesn't own. Starting April 4, 2026, LA7 used Content ID to strike every YouTube video containing Nvidia's DLSS 5 footage — including Nvidia's own official March 2026 announcement video.
• 2.YouTube's fully automated copyright system made this abuse possible. Content ID matched LA7's upload (which included Nvidia footage without permission) and auto-flagged all DLSS 5 videos, with no date-logic check to catch that Nvidia's video predated LA7's claim.
• 3.Nvidia's official DLSS 5 page was rendered inaccessible. The announcement video on Nvidia's own website showed as blocked 'on copyright grounds' citing LA7 — a third party with zero ownership of the technology.
• 4.YouTube's responses were entirely automated and offered no real remedy. Creators like Destin were told to wait up to 30 days for LA7 to respond, stalling revenue and viewership momentum, with YouTube explicitly stating it does not mediate copyright disputes.
• 5.Large creators and Nvidia will likely recover quickly, but smaller channels face real harm. The host warns that Nvidia has direct YouTube contacts to resolve this fast, while independent creators without that access must rely on bots — and LA7 may face partnership termination if erroneous claims are proven repeated.
