The recent viral sensation, Skibidi Toilet, and the popular sandbox game Garry's Mod found themselves entangled in a bizarre DMCA dispute. However, the situation appears to have been resolved, according to game developer Garry Newman.
Who Issued the DMCA Notice? Still Unclear.
While Garry Newman confirmed receiving a DMCA takedown notice late last year from parties connected to the Skibidi Toilet copyright holders, the specific entity remains undisclosed. Speculation points towards either DaFuqBoom or Invisible Narratives, but this remains unconfirmed. Newman's reaction, expressed as "Can you believe the cheek?" on a Discord server, highlights the unexpected nature of the situation.
The DMCA targeted user-created content within Garry's Mod featuring Skibidi Toilet characters like Titan Cameraman, Titan Speakerman, and Titan TV Man. The sender claimed these characters were registered copyrights and that the unauthorized Garry's Mod content generated significant revenue.
Following the initial viral backlash, Newman announced the matter is now "resolved." The specifics of the resolution haven't been publicly shared, leaving some lingering questions about the exact nature of the agreement reached between the parties involved.
