InkSlasher responds, but EvenBadWolves hits back using his own emails as evidence. The dispute over copyright claims continues

by

Over a week ago, EvenBadWolves Gaming claimed that InkSlasher copied her content. She alleges he took about 30 minutes of her video breaking down the story of the game Dying Light – including video clips, screen recordings, and even the way it was edited – and simply replaced her voice with his own. Now, InkSlasher has responded by posting two videos explaining his perspective.

InkSlasher vs. EvenBadWolves

In his first video, InkSlasher discussed the copyright claims he’s facing. He explained that while most of his Dying Light video featured cutscenes from the game itself, he needed additional footage. He acknowledges that he used a small portion of gameplay from EvenBadWolves without permission or credit, and now recognizes that was a mistake.

He received a copyright claim and a legal notice demanding he remove a video. He immediately offered to take it down if the claim was dropped, and later even offered to give all the video’s earnings to EvenBadWolves, but she wouldn’t accept.

After a ten-day disagreement, YouTube put the video back online. EvenBadWolves then reached out to the creator directly, offering to pay him all the money the video earned and remove it from YouTube, but he decided to pursue legal action anyway. In a video of his own, Inkslasher claims the lawsuit is an overreaction, explaining that he quickly tried to fix the issue and offered to pay for the entire video’s earnings, not just the portion he used.

So, InkSlasher put out his video, and then EvenBadWolves quickly followed up with her own. She said she had to clear up some things because he totally misrepresented what happened and how we talked. Her video is super long – over 42 minutes! – because she goes through his Dying Light video and her own side-by-side, pointing out exactly where he used footage from my content. It’s pretty detailed.

She shared his email, highlighting that it lacked the apology and immediate request to remove the video he insisted he’d sent. Instead, the email showed he repeatedly asked her to withdraw the copyright claim. She also clarified that she initially offered him the option to pay for the video as a way to avoid a copyright strike, but he refused. She provided an email where he stated he’d only pay if the video remained online, directly contradicting his public statements.

InkSlasher stated he only used a small portion of EBW’s footage to cover missing sections, but EBW claims her content actually comprises over 30 minutes – about 71% – of his video. She also highlights a contradiction: InkSlasher initially defended his video by claiming fair use for gameplay footage, but later admitted he made a mistake, which doesn’t align with his earlier claim.

The day after EvenBadWolves shared her video, InkSlasher posted his reply. He announced he would be sharing the complete email conversation between himself, EvenBadWolves, and her lawyer. InkSlasher believes that involving a lawyer so early, instead of EvenBadWolves speaking with him directly, unnecessarily complicated the situation and prevented a quick resolution.

He repeatedly points out he isn’t a lawyer and says he didn’t fully grasp everything in the emails. He also refers to the statement, “There’s no point to pay anything if the video will not stay live,” explaining it was poorly phrased due to his weak grammar. He clarifies he intended to ask if EBW would continue to earn money from the video if it remained online, not that payment was conditional on it staying up. He states he removed the video immediately after discovering YouTube had put it back up.
