KEEMSTAR tweeted, “I wonder who she’s hooking up with from @Twitch staff? She has broken so many rules on twitch if it was a guy they would have been banned years ago!”
3. Alinity Has Feuded with YouTuber PewDiePie Multiple Times
According to Dexterto, the feud began when Felix “PewDiePie” Kjellberg posted a video of himself testing eye-tracking software, in which called Alinity and several other female users “stupid Twitch thots.” As he used her content, Alinity threatened to “copystrike” the video.
According to YouTube, “If you get a copyright strike, that means your video has been taken down from YouTube because a copyright owner sent us a complete and valid legal request asking us to do so. When a copyright owner formally notifies us that you don’t have their permission to post their content on the site, we take down your upload to comply with copyright law.”
The first two copyright strikes act as warnings, however, they can affect the ability to monetize. If a live stream or archived live stream is removed for copyright, access to live streaming is restricted for 90 days. When a user receives three copyright strikes, their account and associated channels are subject to termination, all videos will be removed, and the user will be unable to create any new channels.
According to Dexterto, PewDiePie’s video featured his own commentary and therefore was protected under fair use. Ultimately, PewDiePie claims he did receive a copyright claim from Alinity, but it was later removed.
