01189998819991197253 comments on Viz Media sent a DMCA notice to disk software BleachBit, accusing them of using the Bleach (Anime) IP.

Well it should be, because when you file a dmca takedown request, you have to state under penalty of perjury that your complaint is accurate to the best of your knowledge and that you are the copyright holder or authorised by the copyright holder.

Yeah, but laws don't apply to rich corporations or people.

I found before that the company that does this apparently is just one person with an AI agent, because they ("Remove Your Media LLC") give a street direction but there's... Only a Walmart.

Maybe they work out of the Walmart? Times are tough. Maybe they work the register as their agent works your register (see what I did there? ᶦ‘ˡˡ ˡᵉᵃᵛᵉ).

From what I know there are a lot of fraudulent "companies" that are sending false DMCAs to anyone and everyone on YouTube (the channel deephumor is documenting them). They're copyright claiming on behalf of people they aren't even authorised to act on behalf on. They copyright claim people just talking about anime, no clips from animes, just talking. Whether they're actually authorised by Viz media or not, who knows. There's this Remove your Media, there's also another called The Media Entertainment or something just claiming stuff as their own to silence critics. YouTube just allows them all since it's just run by bots now.
