Russian Hit Song Copyright Complaint Swiftly Dropped

Recent events surrounding the viral Skibidi Toilet and its impact on the sandbox game Garry's Mod have taken a bizarre turn. However, a resolution appears to have been reached, with game developer Garry Newman confirming the matter is settled.

Who Issued the Skibidi Toilet DMCA to Garry's Mod?

DaFuqBoom or Invisible Narratives? Still Unclear

Garry Newman, creator of Garry's Mod, confirmed to IGN that a DMCA notice was received late last year from parties claiming ownership of the Skibidi Toilet copyright. Newman expressed his disbelief on a Discord server, stating, "Can you believe the cheek?" This sparked a viral controversy. While Newman has confirmed the issue is now "resolved," the identity of the party who sent the DMCA remains undisclosed.

The DMCA targeted "unauthorized Skibidi Toilet Garry's Mod" content, which the sender claimed generated substantial revenue. The notice specifically mentioned the use of characters like Titan Cameraman, Titan Speakerman, and Titan TV Man, all allegedly protected by registered copyrights.
