XQC Challenges DMCA Claim from Olympic Committee
The popular streamer xQc, who recently received his fourth ban on Twitch, has decided to contest the DMCA claim on his channel. The claim was reportedly issued by the Olympic Committee. XQc has issued a counterclaim for his broadcast on July 28.
XQC Explains Counterclaim and Its Significance
During his return stream, xQc explained the situation and the implications of his counterclaim. He compared it to asserting that he is right and that his content falls under fair use. He believes that his counterclaim will have the strike removed while he fights against its enforcement.
The Potential Consequences and Cost of the Fight
XQc acknowledges that challenging the strike from the Olympic Committee will not be a simple task. He believes he has a solid case, but he also recognizes that the fight could escalate and potentially cost him millions.
Speculation Surrounding the Ban and xQc’s Confirmation
When xQc was banned last week, the reason behind the action was unclear. However, many fans speculated that it was due to his viewing of the Olympic broadcast. xQc confirmed this speculation during his return stream.
According to xQc, the reaction content from the broadcast resulted in his channel being struck. Although this usually wouldn’t lead to an immediate ban, the fact that it was a live broadcast prompted a two-day ban to prevent xQc from continuing to stream the content.
Fortunately, xQc is now back streaming on Twitch. However, the outcome of his counterclaim and his decision to stick to his position remain uncertain. It may take a considerable amount of time before the issue is fully resolved.
