The image is called Ludwig via YouTube.
Ludwig Ahgren was hit with a suspension from the platform just three days after he left his massive twitch following. According to a report from Kotaku, Ahgren landed on the Baby Shark song while playing other videos on his stream. His stream was shut down, giving his viewers the impression that he had been banned for violating YouTube's copyright policies.
Ahgren was not struck with a suspension or a copyright strike. Lauren Verrusio, the head of creator and consumer communications at YouTube told The Verge that Lustwig wasn't suspended. He was playing an unlicensed video while he was going live to fans.
The incident was just a case of confusion. If Ludwig stopped playing copyrighted material, he could have continued the livestream. He thought it was a suspension because he wasn't sure what he was seeing.
Ludwig interprets the warning as a ban in a video on his secondary channel. I am pretty sure the corporate overlords who own Baby Shark have an iron fist and took me down. Ludwig plans to go live again today, and that Ludwig is in touch with Ahgren to explain the platform's copyright rules.
The Digital Millennium Copyright Act has caused problems for video sharing and livestreaming platforms, with creators getting their videos taken down and demonetized for having copyrighted material. The tool that makes it easier to remove old videos that contain copyrighted music was rolled out earlier this year, and later issued a wave of copyright strikes in response to complaints. You are banned from the site if you accumulate three copyright violations and you have a three-strike policy. The creators of the videos were told if their content contains copyrighted material before they uploaded their videos.
Ludwig is likely to make mistakes as he gets used to his new hub. He currently has 2.19 million subscribers on the video sharing website, with more to come from his fans on the streaming site.
