- A24 is reportedly issuing copyright claims against Backrooms-related content from indie game developers and artists, despite the IP being public domain.
- Artists on Redbubble, such as GnarlyNet, have had Backrooms-inspired artwork removed due to copyright strikes from 'A24 Films LLC', even when based on the original 2019 image.
- Indie game developer Davilkus Games faced three copyright strikes, leading to a banned Google Play account and forced renaming of their game, with at least three other small devs affected.
- Kane Parsons, director of A24's Backrooms film, acknowledged the issue and stated it should not be happening, while A24 has not officially commented on the claims.
