The full notice

Edit: looks like it's probably a false DMCA claim but not enough is known right not to be sure in any direction

Edit 2: apparently it's a real DMCA takedown that was files but it got resolved already.

I would love for Valve to chime in about this since DaFuqBoom is using THEIR IP for his commercial gains, which is 100% against the Steam Subscriber Agreement that Half-Life 2 assets fall under. They should say something soon given recent developments.

Also, pretty sure the original/remix artists who made the song might be a lil pissed too.

Hard to research, because toilet is flooding the search engine results and I'm on Ambien

I first heard a less-electronic (I think original) version over an Instagram reel of a very well-fed Turkish man rhythmically moving his abdomen to the song.

Heard the remix a bit later down the line, still months before the first gmod upload.

Good time to be a lawyer I guess

I've seen it before. This is the original video clip and song: https://youtu.be/_pB2RFfIjGQ

Although I am pretty sure it's not the original upload.
