== Response ==
People on the internet have described the copyright strike as "bullying" and a "scare tactic" and have said that the video falls under fair use, since the video was a review of the product.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/PartneredYoutube/comments/1iejpxc/copyright_strike_i_reviewed_their_product_no/</ref><ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJabGNfi9IE</ref> Also, Louis Rossmann made a video about this incident, saying that it's absurd that companies think they can control products that people have bought.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0dHbZiciLJM</ref> This video drew a lot of attention to Cindy's video.
Since then, Sassy Saints have emailed Cindy to clarify what had happened.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wm8f-N4RS-I</ref> They say that Cindy received the copyright strike because they hired a 3rd party to help them with brand protection. They also said that their messaging "does not align with how we want to engage with our community" and have said they will "make sure this never happens again to another creator in the future".
