I was hoping to find a statement from the aggressor, but it seems to be too early.
I mean, it sounds like a lawsuit to me.
-
A takedown request was issued on false grounds.
-
This takedown was then actioned without any due process.
-
The issue has caused tangible, and measurable, loss (calculable from prior sales records).
Honestly, there needs to be a fixed penalty fine for bad takedowns…

Funko? That irrelevant, ugly, shitty, cheap, tacky, terrible brand from the 2010’s that lacks any relevance in 2024?
Yeah, I know 'em.
What the absolute fuck? itch.io is fucking massive, how did the registar just treat them like this? goddamn!

Itch.io dev about this situation on Hacker News.
Not only is this absolutely inexcusable, also, Funko Pops are ugly and creepy-looking and I don’t understand why people spend so much money on them just because they look vaguely like the characters or people they’re supposed to represent.
God I hate our whole system.
Funko pops are for people that lack a personality and try to create one by buying dumb shit that sits on a shelf and depreciates in value. They’re just memecoin bros
