Activision is suing a TikTok user, after he threatened to sue them for using audio from one of his TikToks.
According to the company’s, TikTok user Anthony Fantano – who goes by the name TheNeedleTok on TikTok – contacted Activision in June, threatening to sue them for using the audio from one of his TikTok videos.
The clip became a meme online and has reportedly been remixed and reused numerous times over the past two years, which Activision says was celebrated by Fantano. Activision’s lawsuit alleges that Fantano sent a letter to Activison asking them to remove the video and demanding a settlement. Activision responded, denying it had done anything wrong, but agreed to remove the video anyway “to avoid ligitation, and without any admission of liability”.
The next day, Activision reportedly spoke to Fantano’s lawyer and was told he wanted “a six-figure sum” as a settlement. They also allegedly claimed that other companies had previously reached similar settlements with Fantano “to avoid the expense of litigation”.The anticipated mega merger validates Ubisoft’s strategic focus, according to Yves Guillemot
