H3H3\u2019s Ethan Klein Hits Back at KSI & Logan Paul For Taking Down his Boxing Match Reaction Video YouTube \/ H3H3Ethan Klein of H3H3 is seriously not happy with KSI, Logan Paul and their respective agencies, after a video in which he reacted to the boxing match was hit with a copyright strike \u2013 blocking it worldwide. The KSI vs Logan Paul fight was a pay-per-view live event on YouTube, the first of its kind, and the copyright holders were aggressively shutting down other streams and videos popping up on YouTuber (although not on Twitch). However, \u2018transformative\u2019 content based on the fight (i.e reaction videos\/compilations etc.) are usually safe from breaching the copyright rules on YouTube. Klein himself is experienced in this area, after his H3H3 show won a lawsuit on the very issue, where they were upheld in their belief that their use of another YouTuber\u2019s content was transformative, and therefore did not breach copyright. But, due to a video on the H3H3 channel reacting to the boxing matches between both KSI and Logan, and Jake Paul vs Deji, the agency responsible were able to have the video blocked from being available worldwide, which was not to Klein\u2019s liking: \u201cI didn\u2019t even show footage [of the event], because I knew they were going to be dicks about it. The only thing I showed was a compilation of Jake Paul getting punched in the face, which by the way has intrinsic artistic value. So for them to block it, worldwide? You stupid assholes. And here\u2019s the best part. I disputed and said \u2018hey, idiots, release the claim.\u2019 And they can keep it down for 30 days. YouTube gives them 30 days to just sit on that, and keep it down. Like, the video should go up, if I dispute it. It\u2019s crazy.\u201d Klein also pointed out a hypocrisy in the situation, as KSI himself is known for making reaction videos, in a similar vein to H3H3\u2019s own content. \u201cThey\u2019re wilfully abusing the systems that YouTube has put in place, and it\u2019s just so lame. Especially KSI because he does reaction videos, he relies on other people\u2019s content. The Paul brothers you can\u2019t expect anything from them ever. [\u2026] It\u2019s just so frustrating, because I didn\u2019t even show the footage. I literally, explicitly avoided showing the footage, because I wanted to avoid this. And now, 30 days and I can do nothing, it\u2019s just so f\u2019d up. So, fuck these guys.\u201d Klein has had more than his fair share of run ins with YouTube and it\u2019s loophole prone policy around copyright issues, and perhaps given his following he will be able to have the strike removed before the 30 day period. Neither YouTube nor KSI or Logan Paul\u2019s representation have commented on the matter at the time of writing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
