Video game developer Bungie's had a blow a few months back where a disgruntled player started 'impersonating' (in quotes - they just created a gmail account) Bungie's IP lawyers to issue fake DCMA takedowns for popular youtubers videos.

Bungie is now suing them. I'm surprised they didn't go harder after Youtube, but I guess that's a lot more difficult in court. https://torrentfreak.com/bungie-files-lawsuit-to-punish-send...



>Does this mean that anyone can claim any content from any YouTube content creator?

According to the article "yes", but google working on it. I'm surprised Bungie didn't go after google. They clearly talked to them, but Google's has a lot of money, as opposed to random disgruntled player.
