Recent events surrounding the viral Skibidi Toilet and the popular sandbox game Garry's Mod have taken a bizarre turn involving DMCA notices. However, it appears the situation has been resolved, with game developer Garry Newman confirming the matter is concluded.

Who Issued the Skibidi Toilet DMCA to Garry's Mod?

The Source Remains Unidentified: DaFuqBoom or Invisible Narratives?

Newman's initial reaction, shared on a Discord server, was one of disbelief ("Can you believe the cheek?"). The subsequent controversy went viral, but Newman has since stated the issue is resolved. The identity of the party who sent the DMCA remains undisclosed.

The DMCA targeted unauthorized Skibidi Toilet add-ons and modifications for Garry's Mod, a game released by Valve in 2006. The sender claimed these modifications, which reportedly generate substantial revenue, infringe on their copyrights. Specifically, the notice cited the use of characters like Titan Cameraman, Titan Speakerman, and Titan TV Man from the Skibidi Toilet web series as protected intellectual property.
