Today, justice was served. And the world of content theft has been officially put on notice.

⛓️‍💥 Material Damages:

🟥 Although the economic damages awarded were limited, the judgment serves as a public and legal confirmation of copyright infringement — now actionable worldwide, including on platforms like YouTube.

⚖️ The court’s final ruling (Sentencia No. 126/2025) leaves no doubt:

⚖️ “Se han reproducido 139 segundos, 3.268 fotogramas y 28 secuencias o fragmentos de las Obras infringidas.”
🟥 “A total of 139 seconds, 3,268 frames, and 28 sequences or fragments of the infringed Works were reproduced.”

It continues:

⚖️ “Ante la ausencia de acreditación de autorización de su uso, o cesión alguna de sus derechos, sí cabe deducir la aplicabilidad del TRLPI.”
🟥 “In the absence of any authorization or transfer of rights, the Spanish Intellectual Property Law clearly applies.”

The judge ordered Rafael Delgado Garcia to cease all unauthorized use and confirmed that damages are to be compensated. Every frame and second was ruled illegal. This isn’t speculation. This is precedent.

⛓️‍💥 The Fair Use Lie Is Over

To block our original takedowns, RDG filed six DMCA counter-notifications to YouTube, claiming “Fair Use under U.S. and European laws.”

⚖️ That defense has now been rejected in a European court of law.

This ruling destroys the illusion of legitimacy. RDG’s “Fair Use” strategy was found to have no legal basis, making every future counter-notification a willful act of copyright infringement.

What this means moving forward:

🟥 Any future use of our work? Willful.
🟥 The next counter-notification? US$ 150,000 in U.S. statutory damages.
🟥 Two infringers, duplicate channels? That's US$ 300,000 in legal exposure.

YouTube Must Act – Six Strikes, Final Channel Termination Pending

Following our valid DMCA takedown requests, YouTube placed six copyright strikes on RDG’s channel “The Finest.” These were put on hold due to counter-notifications that have now been legally deemed fraudulent.

⚖️ Now that the Spanish court has confirmed his liability, we have formally contacted YouTube to demand:

🟥 Immediate rejection of RDG’s counter-notices
🟥 Full restoration of our DMCA takedowns
🟥 Permanent termination of “The Finest” channel, as required by YouTube’s own policy

This is no longer a creator’s claim. It’s a court-backed demand for platform enforcement.

Although Rafael Delgado García claims to have special ways of recovering terminated YouTube channels, we’re curious to see if he can help himself now — after a court ruling confirmed copyright infringement. He stated:

“Has your YouTube channel been terminated before? Was it making big bucks and now it’s gone? 💵
DM me, my team and I have special connections where we can almost certainly bring any channel back to life, regardless of what the situation was or how long it was terminated for.

— Twitter Post by Rafael Delgado Garcia on March 6, 2025, 7:58AM (↗️Link)

We are also preparing to publish carefully selected, redacted excerpts of RDG’s counter-notification texts — as part of a larger documentation series exposing the tactics used in copyright abuse at scale. Spoiler: these counter-notifications were submitted using repetitive, copy-paste templates — a tactic commonly used in automated copyright abuse.

👺 The Network Behind the Mask

We will continue to publish verified information about the shadow operation run by Rafael and Leonardo Delgado García, who together operate at least 15 confirmed YouTube channels. These channels generate millions of dollars in revenue per year (↗️Link), partly through the use of copied, unlicensed footage.

Their method is systematic:

🟥 Rip drone and travel footage from creators around the world
🟥 Edit into compilations or AI-narrated lists
🟥 Monetize under multiple separate YouTube accounts
🟥 Delay enforcement (often to surpass the 10-day DMCA threshold) using template counter-notifications and/or questionable legal threats—
involving attorneys from Russia, Ukraine, or Brazil who allegedly represent U.S.-based operations

⚖️ These tactics are documented, timestamped, and prepared for court presentation.

Cease and Desist Letters Ignored

In recent weeks, we sent multiple formal Cease and Desist letters — to Rafael, but also to his brother Leonardo Delgado García. Neither of them responded. None of the infringements were removed. Not a single video was taken down. All evidence has been preserved in accordance with ISO 27037:2013 — the same evidentiary standard that already dismantled his defense once.

⚖️ This willful inaction only strengthens the case against them — in both civil court and, potentially, criminal court.

🔜 The Next Moves: We Are Just Getting Started

With this court ruling now in hand, we are initiating three major lawsuits:

🟥 A. U.S. Federal Lawsuit

To pursue statutory damages under Title 17 of the U.S. Copyright Code — backed by our official U.S. copyright registration.

🟥 B. Civil Lawsuit in Andorra

To claim full financial compensation for the unauthorized commercial exploitation of our footage — both individually and through the brothers’ monetized content network.

🟥 C. Criminal Charges in Andorra

Where both brothers reside — and where, unlike Spain, the law permits criminal prosecution for commercial-scale copyright abuse.

🟥 A Final Warning to the Infringers

➡️ You’ve lost your defense.
➡️ You’ve ignored our demands.
➡️ You’ve kept monetizing stolen work.

If you submit even one more counter-notification, it will legally classify as willful infringement — and $150,000 will be the starting point in U.S. Federal Courts. If both brothers file from separate accounts, that doubles the exposure.

You don’t just owe money.
You owe truth.
🟥 And we are here to collect both.

⚖️ This Is Just the Beginning

➡️ We’re not doing this just for ourselves.
➡️ We’re doing this for every creator who has been robbed, silenced, or misled by fake Fair Use.

With each ruling, with each takedown, and with each exposure — the walls close in on content thieves who built their empires on stolen art.

We are not backing down.
We are not settling quietly.
🟥 We are setting precedent.

⚖️ This isn't just our victory. It’s a warning to the next thief. We document. We strike. We win. ⚖️

👉 Summary of the Article

A Spanish court has officially ruled that Rafael Delgado García, operator of the YouTube channel The Finest, committed copyright infringement by illegally using 139 seconds of drone footage without any license or authorization. The ruling rejected his “Fair Use” defense and confirmed that every second was unlawful. Backed by ISO-standard evidence, this judgment sets a powerful legal precedent and opens the door to upcoming lawsuits in the U.S. and Andorra — including potential criminal charges.

The article further exposes the wider network operated by Rafael and Leonardo Delgado García, including at least 15 monetized YouTube channels generating millions annually using copied, unlicensed content. With six DMCA strikes already filed and a failed legal defense, YouTube is now being called to permanently terminate the channel The Finest as required by policy.

This ruling is just the beginning of a global accountability campaign — and a warning to every digital content thief hiding behind fake Fair Use.

Zusammenfassung auf Deutsch

Ein spanisches Gericht hat offiziell festgestellt, dass Rafael Delgado García, Betreiber des YouTube-Kanals The Finest, eine Urheberrechtsverletzung begangen hat, indem er 139 Sekunden Drohnenaufnahmen ohne Lizenz oder Genehmigung illegal verwendete. Das Urteil wies seine „Fair Use“-Verteidigung zurück und bestätigte, dass jede Sekunde rechtswidrig war. Mit ISO-standardisierten Beweisen setzt dieses Urteil einen starken rechtlichen Präzedenzfall und ebnet den Weg für bevorstehende Klagen in den USA und Andorra – einschließlich möglicher strafrechtlicher Anklagen.

Der Artikel deckt auch das größere Netzwerk auf, das von Rafael und Leonardo Delgado García betrieben wird, darunter mindestens 15 monetarisierte YouTube-Kanäle, die jährlich Millionen durch die Verwendung von kopiertem, nicht lizenziertem Material generieren. Mit sechs bereits eingereichten DMCA-Strikes und einer gescheiterten rechtlichen Verteidigung wird YouTube nun aufgefordert, den Kanal The Finest gemäß den Richtlinien dauerhaft zu sperren.

Dieses Urteil ist erst der Anfang einer globalen Kampagne für Rechenschaftspflicht – und eine Warnung an jeden digitalen Content-Dieb, der sich hinter einem falschen Fair Use versteckt.

Résumé en français

Un tribunal espagnol a officiellement statué que Rafael Delgado García, opérateur de la chaîne YouTube The Finest, a commis une violation du droit d’auteur en utilisant illégalement 139 secondes de séquences de drone sans aucune licence ni autorisation. Le jugement a rejeté sa défense fondée sur le « fair use » (usage loyal) et a confirmé que chaque seconde utilisée était illégale. Soutenue par des preuves conformes aux normes ISO, cette décision établit un puissant précédent juridique et ouvre la voie à des poursuites à venir aux États-Unis et en Andorre — y compris des accusations pénales potentielles.

L’article dévoile également l’étendue du réseau exploité par Rafael et Leonardo Delgado García, composé d’au moins 15 chaînes YouTube monétisées, générant des millions chaque année en exploitant du contenu copié et non licencié. Avec six plaintes DMCA déjà déposées et une défense légale invalidée, YouTube est désormais sommé de clôturer définitivement la chaîne The Finest, conformément à ses propres règles.

Ce jugement marque le début d’une campagne mondiale de responsabilisation — et sert d’avertissement à tous les voleurs de contenu numérique se cachant derrière un faux « fair use ».
