Recent events surrounding the viral Skibidi Toilet and its impact on the sandbox game Garry's Mod have taken a bizarre turn. A DMCA notice was issued, causing a significant online stir, but thankfully, a resolution appears to have been reached. Garry Newman, the game's developer, has confirmed the matter is settled.
Who Issued the Skibidi Toilet DMCA to Garry's Mod?
The Source Remains Unclear: DaFuqBoom or Invisible Narratives?
[1] image via Steam Garry Newman, in a statement to IGN, revealed that a DMCA takedown notice was received late last year from parties claiming ownership of the Skibidi Toilet copyright. Newman's surprised reaction ("Can you believe the cheek?") on a Discord server sparked the viral controversy. While the issue is now supposedly resolved, the identity of the party who sent the notice remains undisclosed. The speculation centers around two potential sources: DaFuqBoom or Invisible Narratives.
The DMCA targeted user-created content within Garry's Mod, specifically those incorporating 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 substantial revenue.
