Jameskii addressed the issue in a video on January 4, after Tweeting about the incident in a post the day prior. According to the YouTuber, Digital Rights Management company CollabDRM has been \u201cholding his channel hostage\u201d with four copyright claims in a half-month period \u2013 and are even asking for money to remove the strikes in question. Jameskii claimed that the incident began after CollabDRM struck a single video with four separate copyright claims, giving vague details as to their reasoning for the strikes. Thanks to independent research, Jameskii speculated that YouTuber Rebecca Zamolo was responsible for the claim, due to his using one of her \u2018Tik Tok\u2019 clips in a reaction video. In addition, Jameskii claimed that the company hoped to extort money for him in exchange for removal of the strikes in question \u2013 which have now risen to five strikes in total. \u201cCo-founder of Collab is assuring me that \u2018your channel is in no real danger,\u2019 offering me to either pay them or let them continue using the claim tool without giving any specifics in the claims,\u201d he wrote in a Tweet on January 4.
