The reddit mods that organized people to call CPS on h3 and wrote and pinned instructions on how to perform copyright infringement on his videos should legitimately be unmasked and included in the lawsuit.
The Reddit lawyers arguing fair use obviously did not see the part where the mods literally urged users to intentionally watch the other channels to not give any views to h3, and the other channels that were features had also declared that the purpose was to steal views and nothing else, which is why it was NOT fair use.
Even if they did do that, which is hard to believe considering how much Ethan lies about everything, how is it even a surprise cps appeared after he was talking about the kids getting a dog poop born disease and shit everywhere on the floor in their house.
Man made video talking about how entire house had https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/giardia-infection/symptoms-causes/syc-20372786.
Then ranted about how shit was everywhere in the house because of the dogs.
Suddenly blamed his enemies ie random redditors, twitch streamers and YouTubers he had beefs with for cps appearing.
They did do it. Before the snark Reddit was removed, there was a pinned thread urging people to only watch his video from a list of channels that said they'd steal views.
Before that there was a pinned thread urging people to mass report him to CPS.
Puppies poop on the floor. Babies crawl on the floor. Preventing both is difficult. The disease in question is fairly common (and often found in babies who crawl on the floor when there are pets), and even if you clean the floor there is a chance spots are missed.
If the mods truly are innocent, I say let that be decided by a jury.
Edit: the kid in question, by the way, did in fact not have Giardia.
He can't say what he did and not expect cps to appear.
It doesn't matter if the kid actually had it after he literally said shit was everywhere on the floor and he thought everyone in the house had it. Especially when saying he had shit everywhere making it sound like it wasn't getting cleaned up.
Hes simply suing because he's lashing out at anyone he can. It's a frivious lawsuit simply to find out anyone he can blame for his failing YouTube show.
When you buy new dogs, you can expect there to be shit everywhere, especially if they get sick, CPS is not something you call knowing the full context. The CPS calls were definitely out of hate, not concern, and the calls themselves aren't even the issue. The mods urging people to call, however, is targeted harassment.
The lawsuit has a legitimate basis, and if it truly was a frivolous lawsuit, denims et al. would have filed a motion to dismiss, which they didn't.
I thought Denims did the CPS call? 🤡
everyone is at fault except for me Ethan
Demins is the one who after being accused of organizing the campaing, deflected the blame onto the subreddit mods and agreed to let the lawsuit include them.
I'm 100% for encouraging people to use other means to view the content of people who they don't agree with. It's absolutely a shit system where you have to contribute to someone's views and engagement just to be critical of them.
You already can view his content without contributing. Just use an adblocker. But when you encourage others to watch people who steal his content and don't make fair use content you are instead intentionally causing harm to the creator, which the creator has a right to sue over.
So people can be critical and not contribute. This is about intentional harm and getting caught doing it.
Ya I don't agree with that. But I also don't agree with giving a shit if content creators get paid. They contributed to so much of the issues we have today. They can all get fucked. They're the worst and if the Internet becomes a hostile place to those parasites we'll all be better off
