An Italian television channel has managed to take NVIDIA’s own DLSS 5 video down due to a copyright claim.
For those unaware, NVIDIA finally revealed its highly anticipated DLSS 5 technology last month, and the reception from the crowd wasn’t the best. The CEO has said that gamers are “completely wrong” about the tech. But now, a new problem has arisen: their own announcement video has been taken down.
NVIDIA’s DLSS 5 Announcement Video Hit by Copyright Claim by News Channel
Spotted by NikTek on X (formerly Twitter), an Italian television channel that goes by the name ‘La7’ is responsible for taking down NVIDIA’s DLSS 5 video with a copyright strike. The channel used some footage from the announcement trailer and then started taking down other YouTube videos that used the same footage, claiming it was “their footage”. This has seemingly led to NVIDIA’s own video being taken down, and it is still down at the moment.
If you head to this link, you will be taken to the video “Announcing NVIDIA DLSS 5 | AI-Powered Breakthrough in Visual Fidelity for Games”; however, it won’t play. Instead, you will be greeted with the message “Video Unavailable. This video contains content from La7, which has blocked it in your country due to copyright claims. Many other YouTubers and creators in the comment section have also reported similar copyright strikes from the Italian news channel.
In other news, Kingdom Come Deliverance 2’s director has expressed support for NVIDIA’s DLSS 5 technology. Additionally, here’s what the tech looks like in a Starfield demo.

So I fully expect nVidia’s army of lawyers will descend upon that news station, slap them with a giant lawsuit, and sue them into oblivion.
Not a supporter of Nvidia, but I’m also against this kinda BS… Of course it came from the fascist country of Italy. Freedom of the press, so suppress…
