Twitter Permanently Bans Pro-Trump Meme Creator Carpe Donktum, Cites Copyright Infringement
LaCorte News ^ | 6/24/2020 | Penka Arsova

Twitter has permanently banned the account of a prominent pro-Donald Trump meme creator, citing violations of copyright infringement.

Twitter’s statement: “Per our copyright policy, we respond to valid copyright complaints sent to us by a copyright owner or their authorized representatives. The account was permanently suspended for repeated violations of this policy,” the company said.

Carpe Donktum issued a statement in response to the suspension, claiming he complies with DMCA rules.

“Twitter has not provided me with any avenue to get my account back, so I assume they intend this to be final and permanent. I have ALWAYS complied with DMCA takedown rules, and I have submitted counterclaims when necessary, but I have NEVER uploaded content that has been removed.”

“I have abided by the community guidlines, and followed the rules. It doesn’t matter. I have been banned for being effective and they won’t even look me in the eye as they do it.”

Way past time we used RICO statutes and AntiTrust statutes against them.

Multiple repeated copyright infringements, huh?

I'm detecting a pattern of these people wanting to use other people's creations for their own benefit without paying.

On a similar note, @ScottAdamsSays “Well, Twitter crossed the line hard. Anyone here?” on Parler.com, possibly in reference to Carpe.

One of the differences between you and I is that you are willing to accept what they say in good faith, while I on the other hand don't believe a g*dd@mn thing they say until a hell of a lot of proof is provided to confirm it.

When someone makes a parody of something, they will often use material created by someone else, but this is called "fair use" under the law. I've heard of Carpe Donkum, and what I understand is he makes memes and parodies.

Of course you are. You take their word for it because that's what you wish to believe.

Nah - the one they used was over a year old and the complaint was fresh...Twitter is hunting down folks who are willing to complain if it hurts a conservative...

DING! DING! DING!

We have the Concern Troll of the Thread WINNER!

Because Trump hasn't fought tooth and nail, against seemingly insurmountable odds, to start us back in the right direction...or fulfilled their childish fantasies of a instantaneous clean sweep.

We still have those who are handed a metric ton of grapes and who bitch because they found one grape that was sour and didn't please their palate....pathetic.
