Nintendo is one of the most strictest companies when considering its copyrighted materials being used by others without permission.
The company has been on a mission to eliminate uploads that play its games' soundtracks, and has shown no intention of slowing down.
On the popular video-streaming platform, YouTube, the company has purged thousands of tune.
And this time, another channel has been hit.
Nintendo is going big, because DeoxysPrime's YouTube channel that hosted a ton of Nintendo soundtracks, has received over 500 copyright claims.
Instead of trying to argue or fight back, DeoxysPrime has decided to remove all of Nintendo-related soundtracks from their channel.
I have no intention of deleting my channel and the rest of my non-Nintendo soundtracks will remain up for the foreseeable future. It's frustrating but as I've said before it's ultimately their choice to have their music blocked on the platform.

Some of you may have already noticed these soundtracks beginning to disappear but I thought I’d give you all a heads up about what’s going on. This isn’t the first time I’ve dealt with this issue on my channel but it will be the last. I’m sorry to everyone who enjoys their music but I don’t have much choice.

DeoxysPrime later apologized for the inconvenience, and said that fans should "be respectful of their right to do this but also please continue to push Nintendo to release their music in official formats, because there’s no reason these soundtracks should have to disappear forever."
