Samsung appears to have filed copyright claims against YouTube videos mocking its recalled Galaxy Note 7 handset.
Many gamers have showcased a modification to video game Grand Theft Auto V, in which sticky bombs were switched with exploding Samsung phones.
But some have reported that their videos have been blocked on YouTube following a copyright complaint.
Samsung has not yet responded to repeated BBC requests for comment.
Critics have warned that trying to remove gamers' videos will only draw more attention to them.

Ping for the Android list.
Yep, the corporate scum have gotta put a stop to all these shenanigans.
DANG!
Aren’t iPhones also exploding?
20 million sold so far in two months and one reported spontaneous fire in an iPhone 7 in Australia. The normal failure rate of Lithium Ion batteries is 1 in 8,000,000 to 10,000,000 per year. There are currently slightly over one billion iOS devices in the wild activated. That would translate to approximately 100 to 120 random battery failures in a normal year. That's what is being seen on iPhones and essentially other smartphones as well.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 7 was on the market for a month and world wide had shipped just 2.5 million phones, yet over 250 batteries failed, and in the US alone 94 burned and/or exploded, and 26 resulted in injuries with 53 resulting in property damage. Extending the calculation, those Samsung batteries were failing at ~3,000 times the expected normal rate for Lithium Ion batteries. Something was terribly wrong.
I have no idea why this twisted individual posts Apple Cult Worship on a conservative forum.
I design chips for Apple as well as many other mobile, communications, auto, and industrial companies. It’s absolutely bizarre how this individual worships Apple. To me, they’re just another company trying to make a buck.
Samsung now admits to having an exploding washing machine problem as well.
What they are going to do about it is still in question.

There was another cultist that posted daily worshipping to the fraudster known as Joel Osteen.
Thankfully, he no longer posts his cultism.
I respected Apple under Steve Jobs - a pure free market capitalist.
“Thimmy” is pure satanic evil and FR’s Apple cultist seems to have his nose up his a$$.
