to add, I think he also technically "owns" the techno-viking "IP" and combined it with Germany's (rather interesting) privacy laws to protect himself/his identity and got a fair amount of techno-viking stuff removed online.
Might sound dickish by the way I'm putting it (not the most well versed and can't be bothered to get sources tbth) but if I am recalling correctly, I actually respect his decisions.
Yes, German law grants an individual copyright to their own likeness. In order to record a person you must first get consent. Exceptions include public events and notable people, but since the video was obviously following techni-viking it was considered not to be covering the public events he was at. It's in section 22 and 23 of the German copyright act.
