Case Study: How CCTV Lied Under Oath in the U.S. DMCA System

When China’s state broadcasters steal, they don’t just take — they lie to cover it up.

This case study documents how CCTV filed fraudulent DMCA counter-notifications on YouTube, swearing under penalty of perjury that they had copied only “2–3 seconds” of footage — when in reality, they copied 60 seconds across 14 separate sequences — spread throughout the production, not an isolated moment.

The DMCA is U.S. law. By filing counter-notifications, CCTV submitted themselves to U.S. jurisdiction. Their false statements now expose them not only as repeat infringers, but as willful violators of U.S. copyright law.

The Claim (From Their Counter-Notification)






Translation (Google Translate):

Dear Team,
Dear YouTube team, our channel "CCTV Chinese" (www.youtube.com/@CCTVCH) has recently received six consecutive content removal warnings from OneManWlf Pack's Strike. We hereby lodge a solemn protest.

https://youtu.be/lHZbl3HkLi4

Main Reasons
1: The percentage of screen time used by the other party's content is extremely low, accounting for less than 1% of the total duration. The other party's videos range from 4 minutes to over 30 minutes, while we only used 2-3 seconds of their content. We added voiceover commentary and altered background music to the original video, but not the entire original footage, which complies with fair use regulations in many regions.
2. Our channel, "CCTV Chinese," has accumulated 1.53 million subscribers. As a key promotional platform, our content is primarily focused on news, documentary, and personal stories, and is not intended for profit.

We would like to appeal the above strike based on the "fair use" regulations. Thank you for your assistance in reviewing and adjudicating the issue and safeguarding our legitimate rights and interests.

» They insist usage was only 2–3 seconds, when in fact it is approx. one full minute.
» They compare usage to their own video length, which is irrelevant — copyright law judges copying against the original work.
» They argue that adding narration and background music is “transformative.” It is not.
» They portray their channel as “non-profit.” In reality, their channel is monetized and globally available.

🚨 Why this is a critical lie:

In reality, they used multiple sequences (14!) throughout this production — far more than 2–3 seconds total they claimed. Once the video transitions are being dissolved, exactly 60 seconds of our work were unlawfully reproduced by CCTV in this claimed video alone.

Misuse of commentary: adding narration and background music is not transformative.

Commercial exploitation: uploaded to monetized global YouTube channels with more than a million of subscribers each.

🚨 Their statement was submitted under penalty of perjury in the DMCA counter-notification process. This was not misunderstanding. It was a deliberate attempt to downplay infringement and mislead YouTube under penalty of perjury.

⚖️ The Law

  • 17 U.S.C. § 501 – Copyright infringement.
  • 17 U.S.C. § 504(c)(2) – Willful infringement, up to $150,000 per work (statutory damages for each registered work).
  • 17 U.S.C. § 1202 – False copyright management information (miscrediting others).
  • 17 U.S.C. § 512(f) – Fraudulent DMCA counter-notification (knowingly making false statements under oath).

By invoking “fair use” in their DMCA counter-notification(s), they explicitly asked to be judged by U.S. copyright law. They cannot now claim immunity.

🌍 The Implications

  • CCTV has demonstrated a clear pattern of serial infringement, bad-faith defenses, and fraudulent filings.
  • Filing false DMCA counter-notification is not just copyright abuse — it is fraud against a U.S. federal process.
  • With CGTN operating offices in Washington, D.C. through MediaLinks TV LLC, plaintiffs now have a direct and accessible defendant on U.S. soil.

📜 Conclusion

This case study is only the beginning. It shows how quickly false claims collapse when tested against hard, timestamped evidence. CCTV’s lies are now on record — and will follow them into every legal forum where accountability is pursued.

CCTV is not only caught on copyright theft — they are also caught lying under oath in the United States, multiple times, exposing themselves to fraud liability under U.S. law.

Further case studies will follow, documenting each fraudulent counter-notification and every instance of perjury, until global accountability is forced upon repeat offenders.

One Man Wolf Pack Brings Down CCTV: A Historic Copyright Takedown

Stolen footage. Chinese state propaganda. U.S.-registered copyright violated. CCTV: CopyCatTeleVision.

On May 5, 2025, the YouTube channel CCTV CH — a global propaganda outlet operated by China’s state media — was permanently terminated. Not by government order. Not by diplomatic pressure. But by a single independent creator enforcing copyright law.

Armed with timestamps, U.S. copyright registrations, and determination, Miroslaw Wawak (»One Man Wolf Pack) dismantled one of the most powerful state propaganda channels on YouTube.

🎥 How It Happened

The infringement began with peaceful aerial footage of Taipei, Taiwan, hijacked by the China's PLA and twisted into a Chinese military simulation suggesting an invasion.

Instead of backing down, Wawak filed DMCA takedown notices, each backed by:

  • U.S. Copyright Registration PA 2-361-746
  • Precise timestamp comparisons
  • Verifact-certified evidence

CCTV tried to stall, even filing fraudulent counter-notifications claiming they used “2–3 seconds.” The truth? Just for one single production, they actually stole up to 14 sequences totaling about 60 secondssee above). These false statements were made under oath in the U.S. DMCA process.

When the third strike landed, YouTube’s three-strike policy did the rest: CCTV CH vanished. No deals. No immunity. Just accountability.


Captured May 5, 2025 – YouTube confirms: CCTV CH has been terminated for multiple copyright violations.

⚖️ Civilian Copyright vs. State Propaganda

This takedown shows the power of civilian copyright enforcement. One channel gone, but the ripple effects go further:

  • Downstream publishers who reused the stolen footage are now facing lawsuits.
  • Settlement invitations have been ignored.
  • Cease & Desist letters went unanswered.

But the message is clear: Creators have power. Copyright is a weapon of truth.

“They used my peaceful footage to simulate war. That’s not Fair Use. That’s not journalism. That’s propaganda — and I’ll hold them all accountable.”Miroslaw Wawak

🚨 The Warning to Other Infringers

CCTV’s downfall is not the end — it’s the beginning of global litigation. On CopyCatTV.com, we will continue to:

  • Publish each fraudulent DMCA counter-notification
  • Document every lie under oath
  • Expose the Chinese #GreatWallOfSilenceAndShame

⚠️ To networks tempted to copy content: take note. Multiple infringements WILL end your channel. Litigation WILL follow.

📜 Conclusion

One of the world’s most powerful propaganda machines was brought down not by censorship, but by copyright law. When creators fight back, even state media isn’t untouchable.
