Actually, I just learned that Brett Keane was banned for plagiarism and posting people’s personal information. Firefly515, however, had false DMCA’s filed on him twice.

Justin,

That is a very frightening tale, especially considering the potential repercussions. Knowingly providing a false statement in a DMCA notice is not just punishable by means of a lawsuit, it is also punishable as perjury.

The fact that some would take the DMCA and use it in what amounts to little more than a prank war and a heated argument is sickening to me. It’s a situation where someone is going to learn a hard lesson fast when they get taken to court over these kinds of abuses.

Thank you very much for sharing that, it’s given me much to think about and I’ll probably be writing an article about it in the coming days.

There is no story to link you to, but I’ll give you the gist of it. There was this Youtuber by the name of Brett Keane, who basically spoke his mind. He’s an atheist debunk, spoke out, debated, and gave his opinions on Christianity, Islam, Paganism, deism, and even atheism! People didn’t like what he had to say, and since Brett had copyrighted music in his videos, they flagged me for copyright infringement. As a result his account was suspended. Brett Keane then went over to LiveVideo, but his account was deleted, because his haters were making false claims about him.

Brett Keane’s friend, and fellow youtuber, who went by the username Firefly515 (a Christian), stood up for Brett Keane. As a result, Brett’s hater’s became Firefly’s haters, and filed fals DMCA’s on him. Firefly515 (don’t know his real name), set up another account, and the exact same thing happened. False DMCA’s were filed on him. Long story short, Firefly set up a third account, and there’s now a true among them all.

Mr. J

If you can send me a link to that story, I’d appreciate it. That is very worrisome, especially since there are very severe consequences for filing a false DMCA notice.

There could be some very bad repercussions for this kind of behavior if someone decides to take action.

As I said, if you have a link or know more about what happened, I would be very interested in it.

Thank you for the3 heads up!

Since you brought up youtube, I can tell you a little bit about what I’ve witnessed. Youtube.com suspended a youtuber’s account because other youtubers filed false DCMA’s not once but twice. And the reason why this happened is because he’s friends with this other youtuber who’s accounts were suspended for copyright infringement among other reasons. There’s a lot more to this story, but it has nothing to do with copyright, plus it’s 3:30 in the morning. Let’s just say that some people need to get a life.
