Man sued for using bogus YouTube takedowns to get address for swatting
Found on Ars Technica on Saturday, 24 August 2019
Brady allegedly made fraudulent takedown notices against YouTube videos from at least three well-known Minecraft streamers.
A few days after filing a counter-notice, the targeted YouTuber "announced via Twitter that he had been the victim of a swatting scheme."
YouTube's accusations against Brady appear to be in a totally different category: straight-up fraud. That could allow YouTube to score a quick victory and thereby strike some fear into the hearts of others thinking about abusing YouTube's takedown system.
Sounds like Brady isn't the brightest lamp out there.
