PewDiePie speaks out on Pokimane\u2019s copy strike scandal PewDiePie, YouTube \/ Pokimane, TwitterYouTube\u2019s biggest creator, Felix \u2018PewDiePie\u2019 Kjellberg, has spoken out about the scandal surrounding popular Twitch streamer Imane \u2018Pokimane\u2019 Anys, after she claimed a YouTube video on the grounds of copyright infringement. Pokimane came under fire after claiming the video of a smaller YouTuber, which covered a Twitter beef between herself and Drama Alert host Daniel \u2018KEEMSTAR\u2019 Keem from early November in 2018. Pokimane has since addressed the issue in an interview with YouTuber \u2018Fainted,\u2019 where she discussed showing the Instagram page of another YouTuber by the name of \u2018Davcev\u2019 on her stream for re-uploading her content to the platform, among other allegations. PewDiePie has since given his opinion on the interview, after calling out Pokimane\u2019s initial copy strike in a video on January 11. Pewds shot back at Pokimane\u2019s argument that \u201cnon-transformative\u201d videos using her content should be removed, claiming that she \u2013 and many other popular streamers \u2013 do the same with YouTube videos. \u201c\u2026Why should you take down videos that you deem are \u2018non-transformative,\u2019 when you have content yourself that is arguably not transformative at all?\u201d Pewds asked, noting that Pokimane had played one of his videos while taking a bathroom break during a previous stream. However, PewDiePie did acknowledge that streamers are often live for hours at a time, understanding that not all of their content can be \u201coriginal\u201d in such a setting. Pokimane admitted that she does strike re-uploads of her content at times, as well as videos with \u201cgross or misleading titles,\u201d as stated in a video addressing the issue on January 12.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
