@merthyr1831 Doesn’t it first start as a DMCA and if the creator chooses to fight it, it could potentially reach a lawsuit? I thought that was how it works?
I think the DMCA is more to force a web host to remove user content. That’s an agreement between the service and the claimant. You can go straight for the user yourself, though.
It sounds a lot more like the “offer” was to take the work down without being sued for every last penny he has.

@merthyr1831 Ah, thanks then. I was originally also following the assumption that the creator got paid off as well… seemed most plausible.
Again, very much appreciated!
