The full notice

Edit: looks like it's probably a false DMCA claim but not enough is known right not to be sure in any direction

Edit 2: apparently it's a real DMCA takedown that was files but it got resolved already.

I would love for Valve to chime in about this since DaFuqBoom is using THEIR IP for his commercial gains, which is 100% against the Steam Subscriber Agreement that Half-Life 2 assets fall under. They should say something soon given recent developments.

Also, pretty sure the original/remix artists who made the song might be a lil pissed too.

Hard to research, because toilet is flooding the search engine results and I'm on Ambien

I first heard a less-electronic (I think original) version over an Instagram reel of a very well-fed Turkish man rhythmically moving his abdomen to the song.

Heard the remix a bit later down the line, still months before the first gmod upload.

Good time to be a lawyer I guess

I've seen it before. This is the original video clip and song: https://youtu.be/_pB2RFfIjGQ

Although I am pretty sure it's not the original upload.

It looks like the DCMA is most likely fake, at the very least DaFuqBoom didn't send it.

DaFuqBoom sold Skibidi Toilet to Invisible Narratives, the company that sent the DMCA.

This link won't open for me but honestly that's not surprising at all either way.
