Activision is suing music critic and TikToker Anthony Fantano , following an ongoing back and forth regarding pizza slices and Crash Bandicoot trainers., this dispute all comes from a 19-second audio clip that originated from a video Fantano uploaded about those aforementioned pizza slices.

Some time after this TikTok was uploaded and made popular, Activion used the audio clip to promote a pair of Crash Bandicoot-themed trainers in its own TikTok video. Fantano's clip was reportedly made available for commercial use, and the company did not see any issue using its audio.On hearing of Activision's promo for the trainers, Fantano contacted the publisher, and asked it to remove the video. The Tiktoker then demanded Activision pay a settlement for its actions.

"Notwithstanding that thousands of TikTok videos containing the Slices Audio have been available on TikTok for years without complaint, Fantano suddenly decided that Activision's video infringed his publicity rights and constituted a false endorsement," the lawsuit reads. However, this seemingly wasn't enough for Fantano, who reportedly got back in touch with the Crash Bandicoot publisher to say he was prepared to file a lawsuit in New York. This was"even though neither defendant nor Activision are New York residents".
