Interestingly, this rash of DMCA takedown requests is apparently related to the Garry’s Mod DMCA strikes from a while back. Apparently, copyright protection companies have started using some kind of automated AI service to mass flag and DMCA hosters of infringing material. This is why it’s all so haphazard and the emails full of spelling errors

      I know what’s going to happen, this shit is going to get taken off the anglo western internet and you’re going to be forced to use yandex to find pirated material. I mean it’s not the end of the world if it’s still available but it’s going to be more annoying to find it.
