Dave Plummer has just issued another takedown request, but this time it was ignored by YouTube and they forwarded his messages to me.

I'll attach the chat log shortly.

So this senile pinworm decided to attempt taking my video down again a couple hours ago today.

🤡 The infringing video utilizes my entire thumbnail image, not a mere portion. It is a copy and paste.

I think I don't have to explain why that's just a lie.

🤡 The use of my thumbnail, which features my likeness and serves as a key element of my channel’s branding, negatively impacts the market for my original content.

It just makes you more popular, Dave. Not in the way you wanted, though.

🤡 Its association with derogatory material risks damaging my reputation, deterring viewers, subscribers, and potential sponsors.

You've damaged your reputation 20 years ago, when you scammed the absolute hell out of people promoting crapware.

🤡 The use of my thumbnail does not transform its original purpose. In my work, it functions as a thumbnail to attract viewers to my video; in the infringing video, it serves the same role—drawing attention without adding commentary, criticism, or parody of the image itself.

The entire video consists out of commentary about your infamous past, Dave. It's the definition of criticism.

🤡 This use does not fall within recognized exceptions to copyright protection, such as education, news reporting, or research.

Looks like you insinuate pulling out and examining your court records isn't qualified as research and stating facts out of there isn't considered news reporting. Your past was news to many people...
