Director Kane Parsons is stepping in to address a wave of aggressive copyright strikes targeting independent creators who produce fan art and games inspired by The Backrooms. Fans have reported that A24, the studio behind the upcoming film adaptation, has been issuing blanket takedown notices on platforms like Redbubble and the Google Play Store.
Parsons, who is spearheading the cinematic project, publicly confirmed on Reddit that he is investigating the situation, explicitly stating, “Should not be happening.” The community remains concerned that automated enforcement might be overstepping by targeting general content that predates or is unrelated to the official film production.
