Expect a DMCA takedown and a sternly-worded email to hit your inbox in due course. But even when the game is comfortably in your hands on November 19—or, at least, the code—you need to be careful. As reported by Metro, Rockstar's official copyright policy explicitly states that sharing GTA 6 spoilers post-launch will result in your video being removed. "Take-Two Interactive reserves the right to have its copyrighted material taken down at any time," the document reads. "We’re happy for fans to upload footage of their gameplay - we love seeing machinima and clips from our games and even share some of it with our fans on the Rockstar Newswire and social media from time to time. However, we do have guidelines that we ask you to follow if you are going to post or stream on video-sharing sites. Below is a list of examples that, if posted, would result in a take-down notice: "Spoilers: Posting video showing the ending of the game, an edited combination of cutscenes and/or in-game plot dialogue, or any other big reveal in the story," the policy continues. "It's ok to show cutscenes as part of a larger play-through (or in a narrated ‘Let’s Play’ type video) but isolated videos of the game's cinematics will be removed. If you are unsure if what you want to post is considered a spoiler, please contact copyright@take2games.com." That Doesn't Mean GTA 6 Spoilers Won't Flood The Internet While official policy urges content creators not to spoil the game, GTA 6 is shaping up to be one of the biggest releases in the medium's history, and has almost made $1 billion in pre-sales alone, so it'll be a Herculean task for Rockstar and Take-Two to prevent spoilers. I'd steer clear of social media, or at least mute keywords at launch. As the leaks have shown, even if every single clip is miraculously scrubbed from the internet, spoilers will continue to spill out. Let's say someone uploads a cutscene of Jason dying; Rockstar might issue a DMCA, but it'll be an endless, impossible game of whack-a-mole to stop people from spamming comment sections with 'RIP Jason.' What Else Can Get Your GTA 6 Video Taken Down? Other than spoilers, Rockstar's copyright policy urges content creators not to show in-game entertainment like TV shows and comedy performances in isolation, pre-release footage "of any kind," or unauthorized mods and ports. It also stresses that any videos "encouraging cheating," whether that's third-party mod menus or even just exploits and glitches, will be taken down.
