So SirFoch made a video and Wargaming threatened to take it down via copyright just because they didn't like his 'tone'.

This is a great opportunity to discuss the matter as well as the Doctrine of Copyright Misuse. We'll discuss a germane case, Lasercomb v. Holiday Steel.

What do *you* think of how Wargaming handled this one? Let me know in the comments and I'll respond to everyone I can.

Here's a great summary threat on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldofTanks/comments/6cndow/fochgate_tldr_ver_20_electric_boogaloo/
