A comedian took to Twitter Monday with allegations that Barstool Sports' general counsel offered her a $50 gift card to retract a copyright takedown notice against the blog.

Miel Bredouw said she filed a Digital Millennium Copyright Act takedown notice against Barstool in December, after the blog reuploaded a video she created to Twitter without credit or consent. Shortly after, Bredouw said she began receiving messages and emails from Barstool staff, including general counsel Mark Marin.

According to her tweets, Bredouw didn't respond to any of Barstool's attempts to contact her. But Marin continued to reach out, eventually upping his offer to $2,000 on Monday.

I honestly thought it was finally over after two weeks of silence. Until this morning, I get another email from legal guy now offering me $2000. Which I would never take (10000% fuck barstool sports) but EVEN IF I wanted to… extortion? Like in what world. pic.twitter.com/s561QpZBPX

Bredouw posted about Barstool's slew of emails and messages when, shortly after the $2,000 offer, she received a message from Twitter alerting her that the blog submitted a DMCA counter notice. Twitter's message said the platform would “cease disabling access” to her video in 10 business days, restoring Barstool's access to the footage unless she filed an action seeking a court order.

She declined to comment on whether she'd seek a court order in emails with Corporate Counsel. Barstool did not immediately respond to request for comment.

Thank you for assuming I must have ONE HELL OF A video but the likely truth is a much bigger bummer: if they get too many DMCA copyright strikes, Twitter has to legally delete their account. I believe they get six. How much you want to bet mine was their fifth?

Twitter leaves it up to the parties to resolve DMCA takedown issues after a counter notice is filed. The platform's current copyright policy says it “cannot offer any legal advice” and suggests those with further questions “consult an attorney.” Twitter's policy does threaten action against accounts with multiple DMCA violations, which Bredouw hinted could be the reason Barstool pushed for her retraction; Barstool did not comment.

“If multiple copyright complaints are received Twitter may lock accounts or take other actions to warn repeat violators. … Under appropriate circumstances we may suspend user accounts under our repeat infringer policy,” Twitter's current policy reads. “However, we may take retractions and counter-notices into account when applying our repeat infringer policy.”

The DMCA requires that platforms adopt and implement a policy to remove accounts “who are repeat infringers.” Twitter did not immediately respond to request for comment on its copyright policy.
