SCG (Saban Capital Group) Power Rangers had filed a lawsuit against Kunal Kandpal, a woman who allegedly uploaded videos of Power Rangers Super Samurai to YouTube. Reports from The Hollywood Reporter says that she even filed a counter-notice!
Unlike TOEI, SCG Power Rangers filed a takedown notice first (instead of immediately deleted it like TOEI does), but Kandpal, who is believed to be living in India, reportedly filed a counter-notice, and we quote:
“This video is my private Property n u cn see hw many views i get on this video people are requesting me to upload more of this video, so please get clear who the hell is jealous of my video and trying to removie it frm YouTube.The filing of the counter-notice has led to SCG Power Rangers filing both a copyright infringement suit against Kandpal, as well as for DMCA representation, a complaint that is normally filed against parties that unlawfully issue takedowns.
I swear, under penalty of perjury, that I have a good faith belief the material was removed due to a mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled...”
Saban recently filed a lawsuit complaint against the makers of Power Rangers-theme hooded sweatshirts, and sellers of Power Rangers Halloween Costumes, for not having permission to use Power Rangers intellectual property, and the creation and distribution.
