Man Accused of Stealing Buzzy's Clothing from Disney World Arrested

Problem is that he's too stubborn to give up, despite his Patreon getting disabled recently. He's still asking for help from his fans and patreons. Even Bright Sun Films (who used to hang out with this dude) just recently disowned him and doesn't want any involvement with him anymore. As mentioned, it's only a matter of time until this dude and his videos (especially after making the news) actually get the attention of the Disney Company and the Cast Members.
That's already happened...the news channel involved basically made sure it did. Unfortunately, he seems to think breaking the law and Disney's rules are a right and will seemingly continue to do so until someone REALLY stops him.

Did make me laugh that he genuinely thinks moving to his own site will protect the content.

One DMCA request to his hosting company and the site shuts. One govt tresspass request to the domain registrar and the domain goes too. Another request to whoever he uses as a payment provider and thats gone too.

Thinking you can make a living off of it is just dumb, but he'll find that out sooner or later.

That really depends on the hosting company he went with, some companies ignore DMCA requests(cloudflare) unless it effects there profits.

I’m not 100% sure I want to know the answer, but what fantasy has he contrived to arrive at the conclusion that he has somehow been blackmailed by Disney?

Does a banning order constitute blackmail?

See my comments above about the creative use of the word "blackmailed" and how he thinks it's his right to continue breaking the law and Disney's rules. He's delusional and very likely a budding egomaniac.

I mean technically they went after the people around him and threatened they fix it or they get banned and fired when they had nothing to do with his actions.

That’s not blackmail.

That’s Disney warning idiots on YouTube that they stand to suffer consequences if they continue to collaborate with a bigger idiot who seems to think that he needs to break the law in order to make a living.

I’ve seen on Twitter that one of these idiots is actually a cast member - so in what world is warning an employee not to associate with someone like this clown anything like blackmail?

Cloudflare aren't a hosting company, they're a cdn proxy.

From experience (both sides) I can tell you cloudflare do respond to DMCA and legal requests at very least from the US and EU.

Yeah they aren't a hosting company but they can also serve a cached copy of your site for a limited time if the backend goes down, they don't really respond to DMCA notices much unless it harms there company, you can see thousands of people complaining on twitter about there DMCA's being ignored by cloudflare.

Not gunnu get too into it here as its totally off topic - any host will ignore a DMCA if its just sent by a random person claiming copyright.

Drop a letter from a lawyer representing a public organisation in their inbox and it'll be gone within the hour. Again, speaking from experience.

And his fans still believe in what he says.

That’s just sad.

I only know about him because I listen to the Defunctland podcast and he was a “guest” on an episode, but I’ve never really understood his appeal. I’ve seen videos of people going into places like River Country and they can be interesting, but I can’t believe that this idiot justifies breaking the law for personal profit by arguing he needs to put food on his table.

The BOTTOM line is that unless Disney, UNI, etc. has a FULL understanding with prosecutors that they will not be satisfied with a plea and put this guy in jail for more than a few hours/days/months, this will continue to happen. Others will also see how he's getting "slapped on the wrist" and it will egg them on even more. Just like Cosby and Weinstein and soon Lori Loughlin and Smolette who are delusional enough to believe that "it can't happen to them" are made an example of, and Disney et. al. are too worried about public perception to put their foot down, this will continue to happen until someone gets seriously hurt. Then Disney will be sued for allowing said person to easily access their properties. Unfortunately, Disney and the others are no different than enablers who talk the talk, but have nothing behind it.

The trademark "Disney" in the URL is enough for Disney to get the domain name taken away from him. Yes it will take a few months but considering his name is not Disney and the channel is profiting off of a trademark it would be pretty simple.

If Disney can go after a daycare with their characters on its walls or fundraiser screening of The Lion King remake, you can bet they eventually will.

Yes, and his fans still find way to justify his actions. Apparently, Defunctland deleted that interview from it's Youtube Channel and some podcasts sites very recently.

And according to one interview, he doesn't care about showing his face to the general public on his Youtube channel. He also didn't care much about the history of Walt Disney World (or any of the Disney Parks) until he started exploring Discover Island.
