Filed August 14, 2025, this complaint by Liberty Troll LLC asserts claims under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f) and seeks declaratory relief for copyright infringement against attorney Robert Alan Reed and John Doe d/b/a the YouTube channel Frauditor Roundup.
The complaint alleges that Reed, a personal injury attorney with no background in copyright law, submitted a DMCA counter-notice on behalf of the Roundup channel falsely claiming “de facto fair use” and ownership of content largely copied from the Liberty Troll channel. Liberty Troll contends the counter-notice was knowingly false and designed to preserve monetized infringing videos.
