Streamlabs faces plagiarism criticism over Streamlabs Studio
Public backlash
Lightstream publicly accused Streamlabs of copying the layout, wording and user quotes on its marketing site and in Streamlabs Studio. Streamlabs said placeholder landing-page text had gone live by mistake, removed it and apologized to Lightstream.
Company response
Apology — Streamlabs
We removed the text as soon as we found out. Our intended version is now live. Lightstream team is great and we've reached out directly to them to apologize.
Source excerpt
Text on the landing page was placeholder text that went into production by error. This is our fault.
Now, it has been accused of plagiarism from rival companies.
The company's Twitter account shared an image of their website alongside that of Streamlabs Studio saying "Hey, can I copy your homework?".
