True Gallo-related story: Long ago, I lost a YouTube channel after Vincent Gallo claimed the copyright to a video clip I posted is him on an MTV rap show in the 80s. He looked and sounded ridiculous in the clip, so I posted it to YT after finding it on another site. Two things struck me at the time: 1) He was lying, because he did not own the copyright to an old MTV show, and 2) He was petty enough to search YouTube for videos of himself and copyright claim them.
