The viral Skibidi Toilet phenomenon recently caused a bizarre DMCA kerfuffle involving the popular sandbox game Garry's Mod. However, the situation appears resolved, according to game developer Garry Newman.
Who Issued the DMCA Notice? Still Unclear
The identity of the party who sent the DMCA takedown notice remains undisclosed. While speculation points towards either DaFuqBoom or Invisible Narratives, confirmation is lacking.
Garry Newman, in a statement to IGN, confirmed receiving the notice late last year. He expressed surprise at the claim, stating, "Can you believe the cheek?" The subsequent viral backlash surrounding the DMCA drama appears to have led to a swift resolution, though the specifics remain confidential.
The DMCA targeted user-created Garry's Mod content featuring Skibidi Toilet characters (Titan Cameraman, Titan Speakerman, Titan TV Man, etc.), claiming copyright infringement and significant revenue generation from unauthorized use. The matter is now reportedly settled.
