YouTube Refuses to Process DMCA Counternotice for ‘Creepy Bugs’ Cartoon

Hunter Hancock's MeatCanyon channel received a copyright strike after a Warner Bros. complaint. He submitted a counter-notice to YouTube explaining why the video should not have been taken down. YouTube, however, refused to pass the notice on and dismissed the claim. Instead, he decided not to go to court as he is financially unable to afford legal costs. The cartoon is a dark parody cartoon depicting a washed-out Bugs Bunny as a sex pest. It was created by Hancock, the person behind the MeatC Canyon channel.
