Copyright, Copyright, Copyright

CREATOR NEWSLETTER


Presented by:

Hey y’all, it’s been a busy week in the creatorverse. Paramount mergers, Logan Paul’s lawsuit against YouTuber Coffeezilla, and election misinformation are on everyone’s minds.

But over at Passionfruit, copyright has been the theme of the week. We’re still reeling from our wild coverage of the alleged copyright abuse from wannabe actress Lillee Jean. We’re also working on investigating another copyright-related story about notorious YouTuber TechLead, with interviews with some of YouTube’s top commentary channels. Stay tuned for more about that one.

Meanwhile, there have been numerous headlines about seemingly misplaced copyright strikes on creators (sorry Tubbo) and alleged abuses of the copyright system, particularly on YouTube.

For example, earlier this week, drama-tubers dogpiled on Sssniperwolf (a very controversial creator) after a smaller creator got a copyright strike for one of his videos about her. But it turns out it wasn’t actually her that sent the strike. So how did this happen, and what is YouTube’s role in all this? You can read more about it below.

Apparently, copyright abuse is becoming one of our beats here at Passionfruit, so buckle up. We’re just getting started.
