Representatives for Activision, Fantano and TikTok did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the case on Tuesday. Activision's complaint said Fantano made the reaction audio available for other TikTok users to reuse and that hundreds of thousands have incorporated it into their own videos. Activision used Fantano's audio in a TikTok video in June showing a pair of custom sneakers being made with imagery from its video game series "Crash Bandicoot."
