Guinness World Records responds after YouTubers get random copyright strikes Guinness World RecordsDays after Ducky revealed that he received a copyright strike from Guinness World Records, the company finally responded to the YouTuber\u2019s appeal. On July 28, 2023, Ducky revealed in a post on Twitter that Guinness World Records issued a manual copyright strike on a four-year-old YouTube video of his. After doing some investigating, he found out that it was due to the use of their iconic logo in the thumbnail for the video, which had 200,000 views at the time of the strike. Just days later on August 3, 2023, Ducky revealed that GWR had finally responded to his attempts to appeal the strike, stating that it was all a mistake. GWR reponds after Ducky & others get YouTube strikes In the update post on Twitter, Ducky revealed that the company issuing copyright strikes wasn\u2019t something that happened on purpose, and they will work towards removing his copyright strike. \u201cGuinness World Records contacted me and let me know that the strike was a mistake due to an automated system, and that they\u2019ve sent in a request for the strike to be removed,\u201d he said. \u201cHave to give props to them for a quick turnaround in getting this situation fixed.\u201d Ducky wasn\u2019t the only big-name YouTuber to get hit with a copyright strike from the company, either. LazarBeam, one of the most iconic Fortnite content creators on the internet, revealed just a couple of days after Ducky\u2019s tweet that he had also been hit with a copyright strike. \u201cGuinness world records making the psychopathic decision to strike YouTube videos that mention \u2018world record\u2019 or use their logo in thumbnails. Video was 5 years old with 26 million views,\u201d he said. \u201cProbably legally allowed to do this but its still sad behaviour\u201d It\u2019s unknown if GWR has contacted Lazar about his copyright strike like they have Ducky, but it\u2019s safe to say he\u2019s looking to get it removed from his channel. We\u2019ll update you if Guinness World Records makes a public statement or we hear anything else from Lazar, Ducky, or any other YouTubers that may have been affected by the automated strike.
