PewDiePie slams \u201cbackwards\u201d Toei Animation after YouTuber receives 150 copyright strikes in a day YouTube: PewDiePie, Totally Not Mark \/ Toei AnimationYouTube star Felix \u2018PewDiePie\u2019 Kjellberg is taking aim at Japanese anime studio Toei Animation after the company filed over 150 copyright claims against a YouTuber in a single day. Popular anime essayist and reviewer Mark Fitzpatrick uploaded a YouTube video on December 7 claiming that Toei Animation had issued over 150 strikes against his channel due to copyright infringement. Fitzpatrick stated that Toei had effectively blocked the equivalent of three years of his work, saying he was \u201cdevastated\u201d and worried about providing for himself, his employees, and his family due to lost views and income during this holiday season. The YouTuber\u2019s video has gone viral, amassing over 700,000 views and garnering attention from top influencers in the anime space\u2026 one of which included YouTube king PewDiePie. PewDiePie criticizes Toei Animation after copyright strikes against anime YouTuber On December 9, PewDiePie uploaded a video reacting to Toei\u2019s apparent mass copyright strike against Fitzpatrick, calling the studio a \u201cbig-shot company that couldn\u2019t care less about some random anime YouTuber.\u201d \u201cJapan is so notoriously dumb when it comes to copyright,\u201d he said. \u201cBackwards thinking or just overall lacking in what most people agree is Fair Use and not. They just don\u2019t care. They\u2019re a big company. That\u2019s it.\u201d Kjellberg went on to compare Toei\u2019s copyright claims to Nintendo\u2019s failed creator program, which allowed creators to use game footage and music \u2014 provided they split their revenue. \u201cI think it\u2019s important that we call these things out, so that hopefully they can listen,\u201d PewDiePie continued. \u201cThis, what happened to Mark, just really highlights a huge issue with YouTube.\u201d The YouTuber then turned his criticisms to YouTube, noting the site\u2019s notoriously ill-received copyright system. \u201cAny day, your livelihood on YouTube could get removed, because some big company decided, out of the blue: \u2018That, no. Stop that,’\u201d he added.
