The disputed video, titled "Sneako's Horrible Response To Penguinz0," was uploaded on March 19 with over 1.5 million views.

It included a segment from Adin Ross' stream, resulting in the streamer filing a copyright claim. The video detailed the recent controversy between Sneako and Charlie "MoistCr1TiKaL."

However, the YouTuber contended that the clip was utilized under fair use provisions and therefore deemed the copyright claim to be unwarranted.
