    I am not saying she did it. She was accused of doing it, and after that during an early stage in the lawsuit process, she agreed with h3 lawyers to request reddit to disclose information in order to subpoena the reddit mods that did it. Which is what OPs article states Reddit lawyers have pushed back against.

    The lawsuit is about the copyright infringement, not the CPS call. The mods organized for users to perform copyright infringement. The CPS calls are just a side thing as a “also, these people are horrible”.

    Also, the ones trying to throw it out are the Reddit lawyers, not Demin’s lawyers. Reddit is defending Reddit. Also, there being no proof is a lie. Unless Reddit deleted the data entirely, which would be illegal, there definitely is a deleted thread on Reddit where mods urged people to commit copyright infringement, because I personally saw it.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.









  • Just pointing out the obvious here, but the problem isn’t organizations like Collective Shout. And there has been a rather worrying development of this issue where people seem to focus on these organizations rather than the actual problem.

    Payment processing is a utility. Credit card companies should not be allowed to pick and choose who they allow and who they block. That’s the job of the government. Anything illegal can be blocked, but blocking anything legal such as the delisted games, or the Japanese manga sites that visa and MasterCard killed, should count as discriminatory practice and antitrust violation.

    Japan is on track to force credit card companies to allow all legal transactions indiscriminately, and we need the same thing to happen in the EU and US. Once we have this fixed, organizations will be forced to instead try to outlaw the games, which is a million times harder.

    If we bully organizations like collective shout out of existence, new ones will pop up to take its place, and the cycle repeats, but if we regulate credit card companies, we essentially cure the disease.
