Google files a lawsuit against a person for fraudulent DMCA claims Google has filed a lawsuit against a person for filing fraudulent DMCA claims. It is against the law to file DMCA claims that are knowingly false. Google has stated that they suspect Christopher L. Brady of using false claims as a way to get personal information of certain YouTubers. In its claim, Google states that the time between when a DMCA claim was filed against a YouTuber, and when that YouTuber was swatted, seems suspicious. Should this prove that Bradley did indeed swat this YouTuber, Bradley could be facing much more serious charges on top of a hefty lawsuit.
