Pokimane responds to PewDiePie\u2019s accusations of \u2018copystrike\u2019 abuse Pokimane \/ YouTubeTwitch streamer Imane \u2018Pokimane\u2019 Anys has responded following a series of videos, including one from PewDiePie himself, calling her out for allegedly falsely striking YouTube videos which use her content. The controversy is around what is becoming known is being dubbed as \u2018copystriking\u2019, after fellow streamer Alinity claimed she would \u2018copystrike\u2019 PewDiePie simply because he used the term \u2018thot\u2019. YouTube\u2019s copyright claim system allows users to claim almost any video, and should their claim be illegitimate, only the claimant themselves can decide to release the it, with YouTube almost never intervening in matters of copyright disputes. The perceived increase in the number of videos being falsely claimed prompted PewDiePie, the most subscribed channel on the platform with over 80 million subs, to make a video entitled \u2018STOP DOING THIS\u2019. In the video, he calls out Pokimane by name, after the streamer \u2018striked\u2019 a video which was a reupload of a Twitter argument between herself and Drama Alert host KEEMSTAR. PewDiePie sympathized with Pokimane to an extent, as the video had received a high view count and was bringing more exposure to a small issue. As Pokimane states in her response: \u201cThe reupload of the Twitter beef, wasn\u2019t transformative content, so I was able to get it taken down through my MCN. But, PewDie was in the right \u2013 trying to hide all that drama, only ended up bringing more attention to it.\u201d Pokimane also responds to a second video from YouTuber \u2018Fainted\u2019, titled \u201cThe Dark Side of Pokimane\u201d, in which Fainted points to when she had said on stream that she planned to take down videos from a Twitch clip compilation channel, because they included her. \u201cIn those specific scenarios I will take down videos \u2013 when it\u2019s a straight reupload of my stream, and when it\u2019s like a gross and misleading title,\u201d Pokimane explained. \u201cThat was an entirely different situation, where I was well within my right to take down his content, but I shouldn\u2019t have had that conversation on stream.\u201d The response to Pokimane\u2019s apology and explanation has been generally positive and understanding, however some feel that she dodged certain accusations, including reacting to others\u2019 content herself while live streaming on Twitch, essentially using other creators\u2019 content.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
