Trump Effect Parody Taken Down by DMCA Notice?

Not sure if you've heard about this, but it's interesting:

Apparently a fan of Mass Effect made a campaign video for Donald Trump based on the game, which then got retweeted by the presidential candidate. So EA took the video down for some reason.

But yeah, thoughts? I'm disappointed myself. I don't like Donald Trump or his views, but taking down a likely perfectly legal parody because it might support someone you don't like as a company seems ridiculous.

I missed the video. I think it would had been different if Trump workers made the video, then I'd understand the authors would feel that the video implied an affiliation taht wasn't there and would be more than right in taking it down. A video from a fan is a different thing. We know is borrowing and transformation of a material to express an idea. That sounds like it is just censoring for the sake of it.

Then again, like I said I didn't see the video. i am going by what I am just reading here.
