In an unexpected turn of events, the director of the Pirate Bay documentary TPB-AFK has sent takedown notices to YouTube requesting its removal. The director states that he sees the streaming portal as a radicalizing platform full of hate. The takedowns are not without controversy, however, as TPB-AFK was published under a Creative Commons license.
He DMCA’d all versions of his movie, even the ones which were not monetized. This is not a good argument and won’t hold up in court. Simple fact of the matter is, is that he violated his own license.
