[1] image via Steam Garry Newman confirmed to IGN that a DMCA notice was received late last year from parties claiming to represent the Skibidi Toilet copyright holders. Newman's reaction, shared on a Discord server ("Can you believe the cheek?"), quickly escalated into a viral controversy. While he confirmed the issue's resolution, the identity of the sender remains undisclosed.
The DMCA targeted unauthorized Skibidi Toilet creations within Garry's Mod, a Valve-published sandbox game (2006). The sender claimed significant revenue generation from these unauthorized games, citing copyright infringement on characters like Titan Cameraman, Titan Speakerman, and Titan TV Man.
