Comedian Miel Bredouw said Barstool posted a clip of hers without crediting her, then barraged her with messages and offered her $2,000 to drop her complaint.
Barstool Sports' founder admitted his company was"moronic" in its online spat with a comedian.
The case also illustrates how Twitter's policy for handling copyright claims puts the burden on creators. The fight started when Barstool posted a video in December of a clip by Miel Bredouw, in which she sings the words of a raunchy Three Six Mafia song"Slob on My Knob" to the tune of"Carol of the Bells." Bredouw said when Barstool didn't respond to her request to credit her, she filed a complaint with Twitter to have the video taken down.
