The YouTuber had uploaded his latest video on December 5th, 2021 which was titled “Minecraft Speedhunter vs 5 Hunters Finale Rematch”.

The video started as any other, with Dream describing a Minecraft manhunt and explaining the game's rules. A Minecraft manhunt begins with the player choosing a direction to run, but once they choose, five hunters will attempt to catch the player and kill him.

The video has been viewed 28 million times and has amassed 1.9 million likes. He tweeted about the alleged false copyright claim on February 4th, 2022, sarcastically saying that “todays the day, time to celebrate”.

When other content creators and his fans inquired about the incident, and whether or not he would appeal the copyright claim, he replied in the same sarcastic tone, saying that he loves receiving false copyright claims and that he can't appeal until he removes the video from his channel.

Multiple well known content creators and streamers joined the discussion, including SapNap, GeorgeNotFound, TinaKitten and KarlJacobs, who expressed their concern about the situation.
