AnneMunition hit with bizarre copyright strike for using random numbers Twitter: AnneMunition \/ YouTubePopular Twitch streamer \u2018AnneMunition\u2019 has received one of the weirdest YouTube copyright claims ever, with two of her videos being demonetized over the use of the numbers \u201c36\u201d and \u201c50.\u201d To protect copyright holders, YouTube has a system in place to demonetize or take down videos that infringe on various copyrights from around the world. It\u2019s been widely criticized in the past for being anti-creator, with false claims being submitted daily. However, one weird claim might trump them all, with AnneMunition having her monetization for two videos dating back to 2017 over the use of random numbers. did you guys know you can copyright the number 36 pic.twitter.com\/dnja297R73 \u2014 Anne Munition (@AnneMunition) January 24, 2020 AnneMunition shared the rather puzzling copyright claim on her YouTube account on January 23. The claim, which was only made recently, is in regards to her 2017 video playthrough of The Witcher 3, but that\u2019s not the part that has left AnneMunition confused. The claim, made by media company Fullscreen, was simply over the number \u201c36.\u201d There wasn\u2019t anything else to do with what media they were trying to protect, or any timestamps, just that the number \u201c36\u201d was not AnneMunition\u2019s property. Fullscreen describe themselves as a \u201csocial content company for talent and brands\u201d on their company website. They are owned by Otter Media, a subsidiary of WarnerMedia, who doesn\u2019t hold the license for The Witcher 3, or any trademarks related to the number \u201c36.\u201d That wasn\u2019t the only number Fullscreen tried to claim against the Twitch streamer. Another one of her videos was hit with a claim for the number \u201c50.\u201d This is problematic for AnneMunition\u2019s YouTube channel, because while claims are active, Fullscreen takes all monetization for the video. While the videos are over two years old, with both having very little views, they still leave a stain on her YouTube record. The streamer has disputed both claims, replying to YouTube saying \u201cyou can\u2019t copyright a number, you wombats,\u201d and that using the numbers is within fair use. by the way, also got copyright claims for the number 50 lmao pic.twitter.com\/MhWcMD9l8i \u2014 Anne Munition (@AnneMunition) January 24, 2020 Her disputes should be answered pretty quickly by YouTube as the copyright claims seemingly have no real substance behind them. However, it\u2019s still a needlessly annoying task that the content creator has to do to keep her 90,000 subscriber channel alive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
