The recent viral sensation, Skibidi Toilet, found itself at the center of a bizarre DMCA controversy involving the popular sandbox game, Garry's Mod. However, the situation appears to have reached a swift resolution. Garry Newman, the creator of Garry's Mod, confirmed the matter is settled.
The source of the DMCA takedown notice remains unconfirmed, with speculation pointing towards either DaFuqBoom or Invisible Narratives, the entities potentially associated with the Skibidi Toilet copyright.
Newman, in a Discord server post, expressed his disbelief at the notice, stating, "Can you believe the cheek?" The ensuing drama quickly went viral. The DMCA targeted user-created content within Garry's Mod featuring Skibidi Toilet characters like Titan Cameraman, Titan Speakerman, and Titan TV Man, which the sender claimed were copyrighted. These creations, according to the sender, generated substantial revenue.
While the identity of the party issuing the DMCA remains undisclosed, Newman's statement confirms the successful resolution of the dispute. The saga highlights the complexities of copyright in the context of user-generated content and viral internet trends.
