A truly bizarre North Korean propaganda video posted on YouTube has been taken down after a DMCA complaint by Activision. The video used scenes from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 without the gaming giant's permission. The scenes, showing an American city in flames, were accompanied by a piano instrumental of the song "We are the World." (Apparently, Michael Jackson and Lionel Ritchie are high on the playlist on North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un's HTC smartphone.)

Before its takedown, the video was captured by LiveLeak. It shows a North Korean man dreaming of his country's coming dominance in space, North Korean space shuttle and all. It then switches to a scene of New York, apparently under attack by North Korean missiles. But the New York scenes are clearly lifted directly from content in MW3.

The captions that scroll across the screen over the lifted Call of Duty footage read, "Somewhere in the United States, black clouds of smoke are billowing... It seems that the nest of wickedness is ablaze with the fire started by itself."

The video ends by saying the dream will "surely come true," and pronounces that "despite all kinds of attempts by imperialists to isolate and crush us," nothing will stop "the people marching toward a final victory."

For comparison, here's the official trailer for MW3:

The video would seem to contrast with North Korea's claims that its space program efforts are entirely peaceful in nature. At the same time, North Korea is preparing to go forward with new nuclear weapon tests.

Even though 30-year-old Kim Jong-Un (the world's youngest head of state) has managed to consolidate his power over his country and commands an army of a million strong, he is helpless against the mighty power of the DMCA.
