Venomfangx has, to my knowledge, issued 30 or more DMCA notices within the last few days.
In or around September 2008 he served (on his own admission) about 150 dmca take down notices.
On the previous occasion he was forced to make an apology to thundf00t. In that apology he made certain statements which are shown in this video. Namely;
1. that the DMCA is a US copyright statute;
2. that service of a dmca notice was done under penalty of perjury;
3. issues, such as discrideiting him (or putting his family in danger) were NOT issues of copyright; and
4. misuse of the dmca could lead to his suspension from youtube.
Venomfangx is fully aware (or he should be) that the issuing of dmca notices for reasons other than for legitimate protection of copyright is against youtube's Terms of Use; is potentially an act of perjury and certainly leaves himself open to civil liability.
Despite that, he has made it clear that he has issued the most recent dmca notices in order to "protect him and his family".
Not only is this no defence to the misuse of the dmca, it is in my view a total fallacy. If indeed he was worried about his family he would never have returned to youtube.
The full apology can be see here;
