xQc threatened with copyright strike during IRL stream Robert Paul for Blizzard EntertainmentPopular Twitch broadcaster F\u00e9lix \u2018xQc\u2019 Lengyel got threatened with a copyright strike while livestreaming himself and a group of friends in a Dave & Busters. The Canadian is one of the most popular streamers on the platform, thanks to his incredible reactions while playing games like Overwatch, in which he is a former professional player. Occasionally the 23-year-old will break out IRL streams, and on Sunday, September 22, xQc headed out to a Dave & Busters arcade with some fellow streamers, but got threatened by the location\u2019s manager during the broadcast. After playing arcade games with his crew, including other popular Twitch stars like pokelawls and Mizkif, the group headed into the location\u2019s store, eager to spend the 15,000 tickets they had earned on some cool prizes to take home with them. As they tried out a yo-yo, pokelawls, xQc, and the gang were approached by a manager of the facility, who made it clear he didn\u2019t want to be filmed and even threatened to make a copyright claim against them. \u201cAre you guys recording?\u2019 asked the employee, with the group confirming that they were. \u201cDo you ask people\u2019s permission? Because if you see my face anywhere on the screen, blur my face. Straight up, I will copyright strike.\u201d The group didn\u2019t seem particularly worried about the prospect, with xQc joking about fellow streamer Alinity Divine, who was involved in a public spat with Felix \u2018PewDiePie\u2019 Kjellberg after claiming a video in which he criticized her. \u201cI heard about someone who did that,\u201d the former Overwatch pro stated. \u201cHer name was Alinity, and it was really bad.\u201d They did go on to apologize to the manager, even though it\u2019s unlikely he would have been able to successfully claim the stream, confirming that they wouldn\u2019t show him on camera again, with the group able to exchange their tickets for an acoustic guitar, some candy, and the yo-yo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
