You're a retard
I cannot force Josh to infringe on my copyright. Especially when I have politely given him DMCA notices on multiple occasions. Whatever shit you are smoking I suggest you lay off it. Copyright trolling is generally stock images and pornography. Everything I have registered is mine or something signed over to me legally. Nothing is stock. Again, lay off the brainrot.
In order for this to be malicious I would have to have forced Josh to infringe on the content and then forced him to reject the DMCA claims. I don't live in that retard's brain. You do. At best what you suggest would reduce my claim of willful infringement down to innocent infringement which is unlikely seeing as Jersh knew about the watermark removal, rejected the DMCA claim for it, and then posted the DMCA claim for said video. All of which are aspects of willful infringement by themselves.
Again, lay off whatever you are smoking and the brainrot. Log off. Touch grass. Stop hanging out with pedos like Tink.
TL Dr you're wrong and stupid because you don't have to force anyone to infringe on anything for it to be considered malicious.
A Florida church associated with pastor Paula White was involved in a multi-year legal battle where a federal court ultimately awarded a YouTuber, Shirley Johnson, over $13,000 in damages for the church's malicious prosecution and abuse of process in a copyright infringement suit.
The Parties: Shirley Johnson operated a YouTube channel where she posted videos critical of the church and Pastor Paula White. New Destiny Christian Center Church, Inc., also known as Paula White Ministries (PWM), filed a copyright infringement lawsuit and multiple DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) takedown notices with YouTube against Johnson.
The Allegations: Johnson, a pro se litigant (representing herself) unfamiliar with legal processes, countersued for malicious prosecution and abuse of process, arguing the church used the copyright action with an ulterior motive to intimidate and silence her criticism, which she maintained was protected under fair use.
The Ruling: The U.S. District Court in Florida dismissed the church's initial copyright claims. It subsequently found in favor of Johnson on her malicious prosecution and abuse of process claims, determining the church had a "good faith basis" for the initial action but misused the legal system after the process was issued. The court found Johnson suffered emotional harm and mental anguish as a result of the litigation.
The Award: Johnson was awarded a total of approximately $13,707 in damages, which included economic damages for defending the suit and a "minimal" award for emotional harm. The court declined to award punitive damages, as it found the church had consulted with legal counsel before filing the initial suit.
This case established an important precedent regarding the potential for those who issue bad-faith DMCA takedown notices to be held liable.
This is what you're literally doing to people on YouTube when they post videos about you and it's going to end the same way when it catches up with you and bites you in the ass when you do it to someone who actually has the time and resources to counter sue the fuck out of you and win leaving you with nothing to continue your lolsuit with Josh that will end the same way anyway.
