So you're all probably aware that @MrWhelan101 and myself are currently being investigated by the BBC because of lack of control on their leak culture.

Twitter has so far been very cooperative with the DMCA to the point of permanently suspending Twitter accounts for infractions as small as posting companion character portrait images from merchandisers who posted images from Doctor Who 2019 calendars too soon.
