I struggle to understand how any normal person could give a single fuck about this.

Ethan Klein, a wealthy slopfag, is suing less wealthy slopfags for biting his slop. These are all leeches on society who produce nothing of actual material value, and the outcome of this slopsuit will have zero effect on anybody who isn't also a slopfag that makes "online content" drivel.

I hope they all go broke and then kill themselves. Podcasters and Twitch streamers are subhuman.
Well, what he's doing could lead to your last sentence so isn't it entertaining?
It's one of those "whoever loses, we win" situations.
 
Ethan Klein's War On Women by Kat Tenbarge, Ben Collins' fellow Keffals gock deep-throater (archive)
If you don’t know who Ethan Klein is, I’m sorry to be the one to tell you.
Klein is the primary host of the extremely popular H3 Podcast, which is one of the most-watched podcasts on YouTube every week. Over the past few years, as he has engaged in a never-ending, largely one-sided feud with his former co-host Hasan Piker (the leftist Twitch streamer who has been profiled in the New York Times), Klein has also become more hated than ever before.
That’s saying something, because Klein used to happily throw the N-word around. But since October 7, 2023, Klein has repeatedly escalated allegations of antisemitism against Piker for his outspoken stance against Israel and in support of Palestinians. Klein is Jewish and has lived in Israel, while Piker is Turkish-American and was raised Muslim. Klein’s obsession with attacking Piker and anyone who agrees with or is associated with Piker has made Klein the repeated subject of viral content dragging him to hell and back.
This week, Klein continued to be so mad at Piker for being anti-Israel that he decided to sue three women about it. He filed lengthy, typo-ridden lawsuits for copyright infringement against female Twitch streamers who reacted to a nearly two-hour video Klein made about Piker in January, which he has since revealed was a trap to try and sue Piker for streaming the copyrighted content on his channel. Piker didn’t do it, but these women did, so Klein sued them instead. Klein’s announcement of the lawsuits featured him literally setting money on fire. The suits featured dozens of claims about Piker, including a paragraph comparing Piker to a prominent Palestinian who has been dead for 50 years but collaborated with Adolf Hitler and other Nazis to oppose the establishment of Israel.
The feud between Klein and Piker is so labyrinthian it would actually take hours to dissect it. But this most recent escalation troubled me on another level. Klein’s lawsuits against these three women are so frivolous that even he doesn’t think they’ll make it to court, despite his demand for a jury trial. But they are still going to be extremely expensive, time-consuming, and stressful. And they have provoked a torrent of misogynistic abuse aimed at these women, who were already frequent targets.
Before Klein’s epic fallout with Piker over Israel and Gaza, Klein hosted an even more popular show called Frenemies with YouTuber Trisha Paytas in 2020 and 2021. The podcast was so successful that it elevated Paytas and Klein to new heights. But it crashed and burned after their numerous on-camera fights.
Again, to explain this lore would take so much time. Hours. Thousands of words. But what I wanted to bring up here is that after Paytas departed the show, Klein became a frequent visitor to a now-banned snark subreddit called Trishyland. I reported on the disturbing harassment the subreddit largely consisted of before it was taken down. The users delighted in grotesque bullying around Paytas’ appearance, tracked down her real-life location, tried to get her banned from various facilities, and—crucially—uploaded Paytas’ content (including her paywalled OnlyFans content) to avoid giving her views and contributing to her revenue. They were also egregiously antisemitic toward her husband, who is Klein’s brother-in-law.
It’s interesting that Klein showed Trishyland on his channel when his lawsuits against the three women—Twitch streamers who go by Kaceytron, Frogan, and Denims—includes that their streams were recommended by the H3 snark subreddit as a way to watch Klein’s content without giving him views. The lawsuits also seek to unmask the anonymous moderators of the H3 snark subreddit, several of whom the suits say are women. And Klein mentions other unrelated women in the lawsuits, too, including two female Twitch employees who the suits assert are “anti-Israel” and “antisemitic.”
The reason I bring up all these women is because Klein’s lawsuits are catnip for the misogynistic ecosystem in the Twitch community and beyond. Kaceytron, Frogan, and Denims all launched GoFundMes for legal costs—lawyers can cost hundreds of dollars an hour and cases can involve hundreds of billable hours—and they’ve been swarmed by sexist harassment (Frogan and Denims are both Arab women and Frogan wears a hijab, so they’re also targeted with other forms of bigotry). Someone told Denims to launch an OnlyFans to pay for legal costs. Other people are ranking the women’s funds based on their physical appearances. Well-known misogynists and bigots are in their replies mocking them. Fans of Klein are making small donations to their funds just to pile on more abuse in the payment descriptions. And depressingly, this is nothing new.
“When I first started on Twitch right off the heels of GamerGate I received so much harassment for just… being a woman who told jokes,” Kaceytron told me over DMs. “I honestly feel a sense of reliving some of that, just from the way some comments are talking about me.”
“Along with being fucked sued I have to deal with the man club underselling my life’s work all over again,” she continued. “I felt like I finally had these fucking losers off my back and have just been focused on streaming to my mostly LGBTQ/woman audience and now this […] It fucking sucks being a woman in this industry.”
Women with long online careers like Kaceytron have already endured harassment from internet figures who Klein has aligned himself with in his crusade against Piker, people who were ecstatic to see his lawsuit regardless of its merits. These women haven’t meaningfully threatened Klein’s powerful position on YouTube, the millions of views he gets, his millionaire status, or his legions of dedicated fans who are hungry to rip into his enemies. Klein is more powerful than them and he is reveling in it. The cost to women on these platforms is yet another chilling example of what powerful men can do to you if you piss them off. Klein didn’t respond to my request for comment.

In a way its at the very core of society. Hasan and co create a very dangerous community where lying, thieving, manipulating, slandering and terror promotion is encouraged. The truth is not real and reality can be made. They are never wrong and discussion is impossible. This lawsuit is just a small part of it, but having ethan who does have somewhat of a voice, stand up to all this bs could alter the public zeitgeist in a way that cant be done otherwise. Hate ethan all you want, hes a two faced opportunist, who will gladly dump you by the side of the road when things get hairy, and will pretend to be your friend when it is convenient, but what he does here is good and could set a very positive presencedent. The Hasan group is a plague on mankind
 
lmao that article leads with him being extremely popular and him throwing around the N word all the time. It kinda suggests that throwing around nigger will make you popular

The feud between Klein and Piker is so labyrinthian it would actually take hours to dissect it.

even people that know nothing about them will be skeptical here. Supposedly their fued is labyrinthian, yet so far only a list of reasons what the greatest ally did.
 
People keep harping on about the precedent this is going to set, but I'm not so sure about that. Remember, trial-level verdicts aren't precedential, only appellate-level rulings
Even if that wasn't the case this lawsuit wouldn't mean much in the grand scheme of things. This case pretty much hinges on the fact that they all admitted that they wanted to watch it on their stream instead so people don't give views(aka money) to him and then just played it in its entirety barely adding anything.
This will not impact the average reactioncuck like assmongol and similar.

We may see Taylor Lorenz's retarded ass be dragged into this too :story:
She took it to the DMs and linked it to Ethan making weird comments about the 17 year old Boston Bombing victim, which Ethan switched to dismissing as "being ten years ago". She did also try unsuccessfully to frame herself as a young woman (Taylor is 41). Ethan still somehow manages to come across as the more deranged in this exchange because he accused her of being part of the grand snark conspiracy that's out to ruin his life

Ethan followed this up by rewatching his debate with Hasan (not on stream, seemingly on his own - he's supposedly "on vacation" at the moment) and has latched on to a detail from the chat

A little digging has revealed that "Chris CPS" has had the username for quite a few years, and the CPS stands for "Club de Portgual Sporting", but Ethan apparently believes he's uncovered another layer of the grand snarker cabal with Hasan at the centre.

Here's a video response just in case Taylor Lorenz makes excuses like calling it fake.

Some bloke donated $10,000.00
Free money for ethan because she deleted her content. Best thing to do is plea out to ethan when negotiations start.
Frogen: take ethan first deal give reddit mods names .

Taylor meme is flat circle that these people know each other & are in same circle of friends.

On the hassan comment no its not entrapment it was not know if in library congress data base. Malice angel won't work look at Nintendo copyright cases.
(This case was long time coming for twitch)

Asmongold basically triples the length of the video with his reactions and his opinions completely change the topic of the video. He always links the video and tells people to interact with it.

If anything, he is the (asmon) gold standard of fair use.
 
I struggle to understand how any normal person could give a single fuck about this.

Who doesn't love a good Internet retard fight? We get months of entertainment out of this while lawyers on both sides try to bleed their own clients dry.

I doubt this has any major impact on copyright law either. Fair use is always going to be determined on a case by case basis and the defendants in this case have done such a specific set of stupid things that even braindead react streamers can figure out how to avoid repeating such that any ruling in this case is unlikely to apply to them in the future. Don't silently stare at a live premiere of someone else's content after specifically saying that you're restreaming it to take views away from them and this case doesn't apply.
