QUEBEC, CANADA: Another twist has been added to the ongoing Felix "xQc" response material dispute as fellow streamer Hasan "HasanAbi" voiced his views in a recent 'H3 Podcast' episode. Hasan brought up international IP (Intellectual Property) constraints during the conversation with Ethan Klein, but xQc refuted this by saying that Hasan only makes reference to the "law" when it supports his claims. Hasan and Ethan's argument, according to xQc, lacked coherence since it arbitrarily switched between morality and legality depending on the circumstance. He said, “It is disingenuous.”

For those who are unaware, the latest controversy surrounding react streamers centers around allegations that some of them, like xQc, offer very little further value to the films they react to before reposting them on their own YouTube channels.

‘They’re using law whenever they want to’

Naturally, this subject came up on the most recent 'H3' episode. In fact, host Ethan Klein brought up the idea that response streamers who only re-upload films without providing any insightful comments need to be subject to potential legal action. “When watching stuff or reacting, we literally get paid by either Hollywood studios to react to certain things…,” Hasan stated.

He also added that there are certain limitations to international IP rules at this stage, to which a displeased xQc responded, “I don’t like the fact that they’re using law whenever they want to, using morality when they want to, and there’s no clear line. It seems like they pick and choose when to use what for what argument, and there’s no consistency, which is the most appalling part of the conversation.”

It's important to note that Hasan streams on React. He actually argued for a laxer IP law so that other producers might repost his movies and provide their own interpretations.

‘I paused like crazy’

Bub Films shared a screenshot of a recent xQc response broadcast on X, formerly known as Twitter, along with the statement, "Lemmino spends months researching, scripting, and editing a video just for react streamers to reupload the entire thing and provide zero input."

However, after seeing the tweet and the response it received, xQc chimed in to defend himself. “I paused like crazy, I added a lot of commentary… The chat was getting mad at me,” xQc remarked. Additionally, he said that he received a message telling him to "shut the f**k up." According to xQc, "A lot of it is going to be second-screen content," branding the majority of broadcasts as "s**t" entertainment that people watch in the background while taking part in other activities like playing video games.
