PHFilipino streamer and vlogger Akosi Dogie is currently in hot water for posting a video clip on Facebook of the anime movie One Piece Stampede, which is still currently airing in cinemas.
Recording clips of movies and posting them without prior approval from authorities is îllégâl. However, Akosi Dogie, who rose to fame due to his Mobile Legends streams, said that he watched the movie and uploaded clips in efforts to “promote” the movie, hyping it for the fans and showing support for the anime community. He went on to say that it was “free” promotion from their end and that the clip he recorded was part of the One Piece Stampede movie trailer anyway.
One Piece and anime fans however did not seem to buy the reason behind the act and they quickly took action and reported the celebrity streamer to the authorities. The clip in question was posted on September 22 and has now been taken down, but since this is the internet and nothing really dies here, a bunch of screenshots of Dogie’s video clip is still circulating on social media.
