I can tell Nick loves making these videos, they always get a lot of engagement and views.
Maybe?
No. Its basically that if Meyer was claiming that Waids defamation led to AP cancelling the contract then if Waid can prove his statements to be true then the statement is not defamatory and therefore could not have led to AP cancelling the contract.
If this is true the pro-Comicagate Youtubers (but not Meyer himself as it might fuck up his court case) should publicize the fuck out of this, maybe even try to interview this woman. It tears right through the "Mark Waid protects minorities" rhetoric.
Oh, they have been; it was a big topic last week, to the point I'm quite bored with hearing about it since pretty much everyone just covered the one Facebook post and nobody found anything new.
I haven't been keeping up with the Comicsgate Youtube videos. Has Meyer himself talked about it?
If he has he shouldn't. It's much smarter for him not to say anything involving Waid, because that is discoverable evidence that could be used against him. Richard's lawyer is obviously smarter than Zaid by keeping himself and his client out of the spotlight.
I don't blame them. This case seems to be a pretty good crossover if you want to get more people interested in law.
No need for a smokescreen if she just keeps her mouth shut.
Nick is also way more watchable than the youtuber law guy because he's not a machine and he also doesn't have a fucked accent
This is a very public case with two (somewhat) prominent public figures, and one side is clearly trying to create publicity. Waid's Texas lawyer is clearly a pro with no engagement, so she can leave the spergery to the Super Lawyer
It's not legally necessary to create publicity, is my point. Of course, that's not stopping them, is it.
Zaid based on the antics and sperging I've seen him do is an attention hogging shit that comes off like a more competent Landau given his history of claiming the credits of others and how he goes after kooks for most of his non-participation trophy big cases. He thinks the court of public opinions matters on a civil case, which it doesn't; only the judge or jury mean shit and he isn't likely to have them sympathetic to him.
No, the closest Meyer has come to talking about the case is favouriting or 'heart-ing' some YouTube comments along the lines of 'Hey heard about the case, i hope you win, F* Mark Waid' on his videos. Everything so far is coming from either Waid or Zaid, Meyer has wisely taken the advice of his council to shut up about ongoing litigation.
I never said it was. I merely stated that, if done correctly, it could be a good way of drumming up much needed financial support or publicity, basically the only reason Gloria Allred has a career. Whether Zaid can actually pull it off remains to be seen, though my guess is probably not.
Zaid's still his lawyer, he stated that he was Pro hac vice despite the motion to extend didn't list him as such. My guess is Waid's Texas lawyer is probably busy doing her research and crafting an appropriate response.
