According to the timeline that has been established so far, DigitrevX created the persona of Projekt Melody for the fee of $5000, proven by invoice attachments in a TwitLonger by Melody\u2019s owner. She also included messages between her and DigitrevX in which he states directly \u201cyou own the IP\u201d and \u201cin the end this is yours.\u201d However her TwitLonger revealed the harsh truth behind the DMCA ban and how DigitrevX has changed his story since then, leaving many fans angry and calling for Twitch to address the situation properly.
