Skibidi Toilet DMCA Quickly \"Resolved\" After Viral Backlash

The viral Skibidi Toilet phenomenon recently led to a bizarre DMCA situation involving the popular sandbox game Garry's Mod. However, the issue appears to be resolved, according to game developer Garry Newman.

Who Sent 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 source remains undisclosed. The notice 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 are registered copyrights and that the unauthorized content generated significant revenue.

Newman, in a Discord post, expressed disbelief at the notice, and the subsequent online drama quickly went viral. He later confirmed to IGN that the matter is now resolved, though the identity of the party who sent the DMCA remains a mystery. The situation highlights the complexities of copyright in the context of user-generated content and viral internet trends.
