Christopher L. Brady[citation needed] better known as cbrady350 (or just cbrady) was an American[citation needed] commentary YouTuber who was known for his news styled series called Mineman Alert. Brady would cover various topics in the Minecraft Hardcore Factions such as server releases, drama and more.[citation needed]

YouTube Lawsuit[]

On August 19, 2019 YouTube LLC filed a lawsuit against Brady, the lawsuit alleges that Brady had been responsible for the extortion of multiple creators including ObbyRaidz, KenzoPvP and most notably Cxlvxn using false DMCA takedowns.[1]

ObbyRaidz's channel was hit with 2 copyright strikes and he was sent a messages from Brady under the name "Vengeful Flame" requesting $100 PayPal or $75 BTC or he'd issue a third strike. Kenzo's channel was hit as well with Brady requesting $300.

YouTube was made aware of the issue after they both had spoken out. Brady sent additional strikes to Cxlvxn. Cxlvxn filed a counter-notice to get the strike removed. Within a week Cxlvxn was the victim of swatting. [2]

After the lawsuit was filed news outlets such as The Verge and various creators picked up on the story. Brady's channel was subsequently terminated along with him deactivating all social media. Cxlvxn would react to everything coming out in a livestream and stated that he had suspected it was Brady due to past interactions they had on Twitter.[3]

On October 14, 2019 Brady would settle out of court with Brady agreeing to pay $25,000. In an apology shared by The Verge Brady stated the following.

“I, Christopher L. Brady, admit that I sent dozens of notices to YouTube falsely claiming that material uploaded by YouTube users infringed my copyrights, I apologize to the YouTube users that I directly impacted by my actions, to the YouTube community, and to YouTube itself.”[4]
