Jake Paul accused of allegedly stealing content from Fortnite streamer Jake Paul, Variety \/ Fortnite, Epic GamesControversial YouTuber Jake Paul has been accused of stealing from smaller creators, as Tweeted out by streamer \u2018thatdenverguy\u2019 on November 17. According to \u2018thatdenverguy,\u2019 Jake Paul had used footage of one of his Fortnite streams for his \u2018The Girlfriend Fortnite Distraction Challenge Pt. 2\u2019 video seven months prior. However, the allegations don\u2019t end there; Paul allegedly went on to copyright claim thedenverguy for exposing the stolen footage during a subsequent video. \u201cThat is me, dude,\u201d thatdenverguy said of the debacle in the offending video, pointing out his Fortnite account name in the top left hand corner of the footage. \u201cLook \u2013 \u2018thatdenverguyYT,\u2019 this is me.\u201d When Jake Paul steals your content and puts it in his video so you pull up the content he stole on your stream and then your stream gets copyright claimed by him for looking at your own content that he stole :ok_hand::ok_hand::ok_hand::shrug:\u2640\ufe0f pic.twitter.com\/eOzZwXqF8I \u2014 thatdenverguy (@thatdenverguytv) November 18, 2018 Screenshots of the copyright claim shared by thedenverguy show that the claimant had reported the video for one particular scene, where denver was dropping down into the map with an umbrella glider. An investigation by YouTuber \u2018Spill\u2019 confirms that the same username can, indeed, be found in Paul\u2019s own video, further proving that he \u2013 or someone on his production team \u2013 had pilfered the footage. Spill went on to explain that Paul may have wanted to use that specific footage for a skit, as evidenced by further incriminating footage of the YouTube star. Despite Paul only claiming a minute-long segment from denver\u2019s three-hour-long video, Paul receives all ad revenue from the entire upload \u2013 and denver is unlikely to dispute the claim, as doing so could result in the ultimate deletion of the video in question, or even his entire channel, should he get hit with three copyright strikes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
