Popular streamer Jason “Pirate Software,” also known as Thor, was accused of striking DMCA claims on X user Awk20000’s account. The user posted on X, stating that they were receiving multiple violation notices regarding DMCA. Awk20000, also known as “Yeet” on X, stated that they received five DMCA notices and had their account locked multiple times. However, Thor stated that the individual filing these DMCA claims was not him and alleged that an impersonator was filing them instead.

Awk20000, or Yeet, has 14.2K followers on X as of this writing. The user is an active member of the streaming community, reporting on ongoing situations. Yeet has stated that they are the “TMZ for streamers” in their X bio. They have been called out several times by streamers, including Nmplol, for their reporting on certain situations and incidents.

Meanwhile, the X user remarked that it was a “coordinated” attack on their account. Pirate Software promptly responded to the accusations and stated that the individual striking their account was an impersonator.

“Heyo, this is not me. Someone is filing false claims and impersonating me in doing so. Appeal them.”

“Someone Is Impersonating Me”: Pirate Software Responds to DMCA Claims

Pirate Software was quick to point out that the DMCA filer was not him and that Yeet should fight the claims. The streamer claimed that he had never filed a DMCA claim on X and was being impersonated. Soon after, Yeet responded to Pirate Software, stating that they have counterclaimed the DMCA notices and have quoted Pirate Software’s statements. The streamer asked Yeet for information about the individual who filed the false claims.

On March 4, 2025, Pirate Software posted an update regarding the situation. Thor stated that the individual who filed the claims used a different number from a “Pirate Software LLC,” which was not his company. The individual had also used a Proton Mail email that added a “layer of obscurity,” according to the streamer. Thor also claimed that he will help anyone who was struck with a false DMCA claim by the person impersonating him:

“If you do get a DMCA from anyone claiming to be me come to me first. If dipshits online are going to do this then I can help you fight back against it by telling the platform that the claimer is not me.”

Yeet also posted a tweet quoting Jason’s update about the situation and mentioned that he was helpful.

“Pirate Software offers update on the impersonator doing false DMCA claims towards my account We had a chat and he was very helpful Says If you get DMCA claims on his content in future, hit him up first.”
