Alinity Says Copyright Strike Against PewDiePie Was “Accident”

Natalia ‘Alinity’ Mogollon claims that her 2018 copyright strike against YouTuber Felix ‘PewDiePie’ Kjellberg was done by mistake, and it led to some drama between the streaming stars.

Rewind back to 2018, and drama kicked up when Alinity appeared to issue the copyright strike against the YouTube channel of PewDiePie, apparently because she was offended by his joke regarding “Twitch thots” and even called him out for it with her audience.

The 32-year old Alinity discussed the matter during a recent stream with popular streamer Dr. K, an emotional conversation that saw the controversial Twitch star open up about internet hate, and suicidal thoughts.

Alinity claimed the copyright claim from 2018 was in fact an accident. If you’re wondering how to grow on Twitch, making sure you have your copyrights in order.

“There were compilations of myself… I got up and yelled at my roommate “Oh, can we copystrike PewDiePie?!”… It was just like for show.”

Alinity continued by saying “it was just, like, a joke” and that her action was nothing serious.

Continuing; “I was trying to play it up for the stream” she said. “But I didn’t actually copy-strike his video. I didn’t do it. It was the company that was working for me, [they] accidentally and coincidentally put a strike on the video.”

You can take a look, for yourself, right here and right here as well.

Hopefully, these matters will resolve themselves amicably, but it goes to show just how serious situations can evolve on any social or content platform. This is the case in other industries, such as sports, where a sports social media platform may see fans argue and debate over the latest news, or the takes of former players turned analysts.

This seems to be no different on platforms such as Twitch.
