PewDiePie\u2019s YouTube diss tracks blocked in India following T-Series court order PewDiePie \/ YouTubeThe ongoing YouTube battle between PewDiePie and T-Series is now becoming a legal battle too, as diss track videos \u2018Congratulations\u2019 and \u2018Bitch Lasagna\u2019 have been blocked in India, after T-Series filed a take down order. It was reported on April 10 that T-Series had filed a court order, ruling that PewDiePie must \u201cremove and disable access\u201d to the songs in question \u2013 those songs being the two diss tracks directed at T-Series. The latest, \u2018Congratulations\u2019 was particularly brutal in its remarks about T-Series, even alleging illegal activity, and currently has over 70 million views, less than a week after being uploaded. PewDiePie\u2019s T-Series diss tracks now blocked in India Although many thought that there would be no legal precedent for such a move, PewDiePie\u2019s editor, Sive, posted on Twitter on April 11 that indeed the videos \u2013 both Congratulations and Bitch Lasagna -were unavailable in India and that comments had been disabled. The videos still appear to be available as normal in other countries, but now simply show up as \u2018This video is not available\u2019 when accessing them from India. 500Why are T-Series trying to block PewDiePie\u2019s videos in India? The battle for YouTube supremacy has been ongoing between Swedish video-maker Felix \u2018PewDiePie\u2019 Kjellberg and T-Series since late 2018, as the two channels compete to have the highest subscriber count. The Swede has held this position for the better part of eight years, and although T-Series has taken over him briefly, he still holds a commanding lead as both channels head for 100 million subs. PewDiePie\u2019s \u2018Congratulations\u2019 song was actually congratulating T-Series for having overtaken him, but ironically, the video and song\u2019s immediate popularity sent Pewds back in front \u2013 by over 300,000 subs. If the reports that these take downs are in fact the doing of T-Series\u2019 legal action, then it shows that they are taking the contest more seriously than some might have believed. They have previously stated that beating PewDiePie would in some sense bring national pride to the country, and clearly don\u2019t take kindly to the comments he made about them in his diss tracks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
