The viral Skibidi Toilet phenomenon recently caused a bizarre DMCA kerfuffle involving the popular sandbox game Garry's Mod. However, it seems the situation has been resolved, according to game developer Garry Newman.
Who Issued the DMCA Notice? Still a Mystery
While Garry Newman confirmed to IGN that a DMCA notice was received late last year from parties claiming ownership of Skibidi Toilet copyrights, the specific source remains undisclosed. It's unclear whether it originated from DaFuqBoom or Invisible Narratives.
Newman, expressing his disbelief ("Can you believe the cheek?") on a Discord server, saw the ensuing drama go viral. He subsequently confirmed the issue's resolution, though the identity of the party sending the DMCA remains confidential.
The DMCA targeted user-created content within Garry's Mod, specifically those featuring Skibidi Toilet characters like Titan Cameraman, Titan Speakerman, and Titan TV Man. The sender claimed these characters were copyrighted and that the unauthorized Garry's Mod content generated significant revenue.
