UnitedHealthcare Accused of DMCA Abuse in Bizarre Copyright Takedown Spree

An entity claiming to represent UnitedHealthcare has triggered controversy by issuing numerous DMCA takedown requests targeting online depictions of Luigi Mangione, the alleged shooter of the company's CEO. These requests cover artwork, parody merchandise, and other content related to the newsworthy event. Legal experts argue this constitutes DMCA abuse, as the targeted material is largely protected under fair use or artistic expression. The incident highlights the ease with which copyright laws can be misused to stifle free speech and artistic creation.
