Alright, since you're more knowledgeable about this topic than I am, I'd like to ask something. What exactly makes something someone's online?
I mean, I understand that photos, videos, and copyrighted materials shouldn't be distributed without permission, but what about nicknames or usernames that no one has ever paid to protect? Well, I’m pretty sure they haven’t paid anything to protect their usernames.
I honestly don't know and just want to understand... what establishes ownership of a username, for example, in an online context?
A quick example: username: meukotis
I have this username saved in a database and displayed on multiple websites. There are no photos, videos, or thumbnails, just the username, number of followers, birthday, age, gender, and a location listed as "Land of Love." Absolutely nothing else is saved or displayed on the page apart from this basic info. How can someone request removal simply because they claim, "That's my username, and I don't want it on your website"?
P.S. I now realize I might be mixing up trademarks and copyrights, but that's why I'm asking—I’ve never really delved into this topic.
Thanks for your time!
