Bungie has sued a Destiny <\/em>player who allegedly filed dozens of fake copyright strikes in its name. The lawsuit, covered by TheGamePost<\/em><\/a>, says California YouTube creator Nick Minor turned a single Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) takedown notice into 96 fraudulent claims against other YouTubers.<\/p>\n

The complaint claims<\/a> Bungie \u201cbrand protection\u201d contractor CSC Global sent Minor a legitimate copyright notice in December 2021, asking him to remove music from the soundtrack of Destiny<\/em> expansion The Taken King<\/em>. Minor allegedly responded by creating a Gmail account that mimicked the CSC one and then filing similar requests with a bevy of other YouTube accounts \u2014 even hitting an official Bungie account. He identified himself as a CSC representative and demanded the accounts remove videos or face YouTube copyright strikes.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, under his YouTube alias Lord Nazo, Minor apparently ran what Bungie calls a \u201cdisinformation\u201d campaign against the studio. It claims he spread reports about rampant copyright strikes, falsely blamed Bungie for overaggressive enforcement, and distributed a \u201cmanifesto\u201d that was \u201cdesigned to sow confusion\u201d over the legitimacy of all Bungie DMCA requests. (In an editorial aside, it says the manifesto \u201creads like a hackneyed \u2018look what you made me do\u2019 letter from the serial killer in a bad novel.\u201d) It quotes Destiny<\/em> community members describing the takedowns as \u201cheartbreaking\u201d and \u201chorrible,\u201d saying the notices \u2014 which could have led to an account removal, if repeated \u2014 made them afraid to post more videos.<\/p>\n
