As much as Ethan Kline is a huge douche bag, he is large part of why you can use other people’s videos in a transformative way under “fair use” on YouTube. He was sued in 2016 for making a reaction video, and he fought the lawsuit and won.

I haven’t seen a lot about the latest lawsuit, but my understanding is that he’s claiming that streamers played his unedited content adding little to no transformative content or commentary over multiple hours which doesn’t count as fair use.
Is he saying that the mod legally slandered him? Or committed libel?
More importantly, are we supposed to know who he is?
Douchbag drama youtuber.
You must be new to the internet.
Edit: lmao
I don’t know who these people are, and more importantly don’t fucking care.
How long I’ve been “on the internet” (which is since before PC’s were a
commonthing) is irrelevant.I am curious whether the safety argument is valid, but only after settling the copyright argument (which seems utterly bullshit) and the libel claims.
Frankly it all sounds juvenile, and I hope both sides lose their asses in court for wasting it’s time.
Also, youtube isn’t the internet. It’s just one of the bigger cesspools (among many).
Kid, I was on the Internet when we had to hook the computer up to a telephone.
Lol it’s a pissing match eh?
My first modem had a baud rate, no kilobits per second yet.
I can listen to a 300 baud bitstream and get an idea of what the data is.
That’s pretty impressive. Do you have to practise or does it just come to you?
I just started recognizing patterns. I forget which equipment we were using, but there was almost always some data screeching over a certain connection in the lab. My colleague picked up on it as well.
