Why is FlareTV\u2019s livestream getting copy striked? The teenage duo behind FlareTV addressed fan concerns in their video\u2019s chat, claiming that \u2018Congratulations\u2019 had been copy striked by a music label. \u201cPlease stop asking about \u2018Congratulations,\u2019\u201d they wrote. \u201cIt\u2019s copyrighted and I cannot play it on stream.\u201d https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=-8tk0uk17gcWho owns the rights to \u2018Congratulations?\u2019 However, PewDiePie\u2019s editor \u2018Sive\u2019 Osman later clarified that the song had not been copyrighted by his team, explaining that another company had claimed the video \u2013 even though they don\u2019t own the rights to the song. \u201cTeam YouTube some company called Tunecore are claiming videos on or using PewDiePie\u2019s \u2018Congratulations\u2019 song,\u201d he Tweeted of the debacle. \u201cThey don\u2019t represent him.

Thanks to investigation by Drama Alert\u2019s Daniel \u2018KEEMSTAR\u2019 Keem, Tunecore appeared to have claimed the video due to an instrumental version of the song called \u2018Buckwild,\u2019 created by an artist named Pontus Pettersson in September 2017. PewDiePie\u2019s response to \u201cwhite supremacist\u201d controversy This development follows PewDiePie\u2019s response to a petition seeking to ban him from YouTube due to alleged white supremacist content, which has gained over 76,000 signatures as of April 7. PewDiePie vehemently decried any white supremacists using his content as a platform, and noted that the petition contained \u201cflat-out lies\u201d about moments in his YouTube career.
