Faked DMCA Takedown Notices Caused 'Incalculable Damage': Bungie Suit

Bungie suffered "nearly incalculable damage" from fake Digital Millennium Copyright Act takedown notices given to YouTube that disrupted the video game developer's players, streamers and fans, it told the U.S. District Court in Seattle Friday in a docket 2:22-cv-00371 complaint seeking unspecified damages and injunctive relief. It said the takedown notices, purportedly issued on behalf of Bungie, targeted videos people had uploaded to YouTube, with Bungie's permission, of them playing Bungie games. The suit is filed against unnamed John Does. Bungie said it would learn their identities through a subpoena and amend the complaint.
