   I hate how much I'm rooting for Ethan Klein, but sometimes my hunger for kino overrides everything else.

     @Hoss It's a testament to how Sorathic evil his enemies are that we're rooting for such evil people as Ethan and Hila Klein.

     The problem they'll have is that all the creators being sued explicitly said they were doing it to take views away from Ethan's video. They have very little plausible deniability to hide behind.

     @Hoss I didn't watch much but these are copyright claims and the people being sued will claim fair use. Sargon of Akkad won a fair use case where he'd just clipped and titled someone else's content. I think reaction videos are probably safe.

     @Hoss Ethically, I see your point but with such strong opinions, that seems transformative. Interesting though, thanks for the insight.

     I mean, I fucking hate copyright if I'm being honest. I'd abolish the whole legal construct if it were up to me, but Ethan has them in checkmate here. And since I hate the people about to get bent over the table in court, it's entertaining.

     @Inginsub @Hoss Same dynamic as Heard and Depp, without the charm.

     @Hoss We'll see, I guess. There's a whole reaction industry that would be nuked if the court rules in his favor. The text of the suit asks good questions though.

     The ruling probably won't impact reaction content that has effort put in, just the subset of Twitch empty chair react enthusiasts.

     Fair use doesn't apply, he picked the three women he did because they spent large sections of their "reaction" either not present, not commentating, and in general not transforming anything.
     
     One of them spent more time doing bong hits than actually engaging with the video.
     
     They might STILL have gotten a fair use claim but they established intent by telling people to watch their stream of it so Ethan got less views.
     
     Honestly if Ethan loses any of these copyright law is dead.

     The funniest shit to me is that he could reuse the same exact script and at least two of the retards would fall for it a second time.
     
     They're so convinced that he's going to lose because they don't understand that he's not suing them because WAHMAN.
     
     Copyright law is fucked but while it exists you better believe copyright lawyers will try to rape you with them.
