Campo Santo
Campo Santo is a video game publisher based out of San Francisco that largely specializes in creating "artsy games", which is another way of saying they make games that are more eye candy than they are, well, games. Think of it like taking the most basic, boring, nondescript, linear game you can think of, say Pong for example... and then just adding in pretty pixel pictures as a matter of backdrop. That's... that's it, that's literally all this company does. They take half-assed playability and coat it over with a fresh batch of bullshit to trick everyone into thinking they're getting something really worthwhile. When in fact all you're getting is the effective equivalent of a mildly interactive screen saver.
Campo Santo's most popular title, Firewatch, was so bad that many users demanded refunds after purchasing it, once they found that the "game" had almost no playability at all. Consumers were essentially tricked into buying the video game equivalent of a brightly colored paper weight and were rightly upset over the deception.
Firewatch Developer Sean Vanaman vs PewDiePie
On September 10th, 2017 top YouTuber PewDiePie was playing a game not owned, produced, licensed or even having anything remotely to do with Campo Santo, during a live stream, when he got overly flustered and shit screamed, "NIGGER!" at the pixels on the screen.
Despite the fact that every other rap song produced has the word nigger in it and despite the fact that every gamer online hears the word at least six or eight times an hour, it suddenly became a problem when wholesome little white bread PewDiePie accidentally let loose a nuclear N-bomb in the pedestrian hallows of YouTube.
Mainstream media of course, ass flustered with jealous rage over Pewds taking a significant chunk out of their regular viewership, of course responded as if literally Hitler had suddenly risen from the grave and was demanding the immediate execution of all blacks, Jews, Space Jews, retards and SJWs... er, scratch that last one, no need for redundancy.
As the naked troll rats built on up their mountain of shit to fling at Felix, Campo Santo developer Sean Vanaman decided it was a good idea to throw a giant screaming tantrum over the incident, again despite the fact that it had absolutely nothing to do with Campo Santo, their games, or anything even remotely in orbit of their unimportant bullshit.
This culminated in Sean Vanaman declaring that his company would commit mass copyfraud in an effort to try and forcibly remove PewDiePie's entire channel...
Apparently unbeknownst to Campo Santo this is what's known as "filing a claim in bad faith", which is considered perjury in a court of law and has all sorts of penalties and bitch slaps associated with it. See Lenz v. Universal Music Corp., 572 F.Supp.2d 1150 (N.D. Cal., 2008).
But Sean didn't quit there. Oh no, like an Asian driver he didn't know when to stop and ranted right on for a good dozen or more tweets; wherein he started openly encouraging and asking others to act as his personal army and file DMCA claims against PewDiePie's content. His openly admitted intention was to further his effort to try and burn down YouTube channels in the same manner that Hitler enjoyed burning books.
Again, apparently unbeknownst to Campo Santo, the DMCA specifically forbids anyone from filing a claim based on content that they do not own and actually classifies such action as fraud, a federal felony, one which carries significant repercussions, including a potential extended stay in a five star federal penitentiary.
