I'm 30mins behind, Why cant he answer a simple question?

It's even fucking multiple choice:
A) Yes
B) No
C) I don't remember

There isn't a D) [Fill in your own answer], you moRon.

How do you fuck up this badly even as a soyling?

 

[AStupidMonkey]

He's literally nodding and whispering "sorry" when his lawyer objects to form...

I haven't seen part 2 yet, did Nick mention how Toye's slimy deposition could affect the case later on? Aside from things he had to state that might add weight to the claims, I think in the first video he implied the possibility that a clip of the deposition could possibly be shown to the court later and it'd look bad if it was a person grinning and avoiding questions, though I am not sure under what circumstances footage could or might be wanted to be shown. Is it also possible to mention Toye's constant amnesia, such as how out of hundreds of tweets (unless something changed in the recent episode) he couldn't remember a single one, or is that (showing my non-legal power level here) "objection" material somehow?

Hey faggot, why did I get only 2 revenge ratings, when Damian got, like, six? I demand an equal share of the salt!

 

[Larry Anon]

HOLY SHIT.

Sony just copyright claimed Vic Mignogna's deposition on Nick's livestream. Nick and Ty are planning to sue Sony now. This is fucking insane. I can't believe Sony would do something so fucking stupid.

It's Content ID. It's totally automated, it's not uncommon for it to generate false positives, and when Nick challenges it, there's probably a 99% chance they'll just withdraw it once someone looks at it manually.

He can't challenge it, though, because it mysteriously disappeared.

Mainly because Rekieta actually got Sony scared of him. If he copyright strike him, he will fight them. He wasn't literally joking with anyone at all - including with Sony, so that is probably why that happened.

I think it would be hilarious if it actually was just a random strike but whoever was assigned to watch his stream at Funi or Sony saw that shit happen and immediately flipped the fuck out and made a panic call to whatever other department does their copyright shit.

Or the same department.

If they have some team of poor slobs whose job it is to watch YouTube anyway, if they have some "watch this guy" order, that same team will probably end up doing that.

Question for @AnOminous or any other law-oriented folks who know Texas rules. With this amended complaint the max has been set to $5 million in damages, but can that go higher in the end result? I remember the Oberlin case where it was like triple max damages because of the jury deciding the defendants deserved it, but that was in another state.

EDIT: Whoops, posted this in the Nick-specific thread instead of the lawsuit-specific one. Butterfingers.

That's a procedural question I'd have to look into. I don't believe it precludes exemplary damages.

Because Sony does NOT want in on this lawsuit. It was more than likely automated. Funimation is 100% watching his Streams and unlike Soyboy and Fattica, they're taking them seriously. I would bet whoever is assigned to watch that stream called Sony up like someone else said in the thread. YouTube does NOT work that fast. Someone was watching his stream and manually removed that shit.

Yes, it was a mistake that it was claimed. But the fact that it was withdrawn so quick means someone is watching that shit like a hawk.

Nick use to work for SOE. I'm sure sony would love to hear from Roshen again.

@EurocopterTigre should add "Internet Shock Jock" to Nicky's Substitle

So, I was reading over some thread about Vic on RoosterTeeth, and one of the kickvic guys said that Nick's not a reporter (DiMono, if anyone wants to check it out), in response to someone saying that he has journalistic privilege. I got a bit curious and decided to look it up, and less than two minutes later, I found this:

Reporters’ Privilege Compendium | Minnesota Shield Laws Guide - RCFP

Learn more about journalists' right not to be compelled to testify or disclose sources and information in court in your state or circuit.

www.rcfp.org

IV. Who is covered

...

2. Others, including non-traditional news gatherers

Courts have applied the privilege to nontraditional news gatherers. See In re Mahtani, No. 27-CV-17-11589, 45 Med. L. Rptr. 2408, 2412 (Minn. Dist. Ct., Hennepin Cty., Sept. 25, 2017) (“The wide-cast net of the Act [shield statute] would appear to catch not only reporters and journalists working in traditional news media, but also internet bloggers, unpaid news-gatherers, even public relations consultants as long as they were engaged in any of the enumerated activities.”); Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law and Order, State v. Berglund, No. K5-00-600125, Ramsey Cty., Minn., Dist. Ct., dated April 12, 2000 (compelling city to return original videotape that police had seized from cable access show personnel).

Cases involving reporters, but denying protection for other reasons, include Berglund v. City of Maplewood, 173 F.Supp.2d 935, 950 (D. Minn. 2001) (cable access show personnel), aff'd sub nom. Zick v. City of Maplewood, 50 Fed. App'x 805, 806 (8th Cir. 2002) (unpublished).

Not sure if anyone else has posted anything about this, but Nick is indeed (unsurprisingly) covered by Minnesota's journalist protection laws. Funny how an actual lawyer from Minnesota knows more about the laws in Minnesota than some moron on the internet, huh? Just thought I'd share this, in case anyone wants something to shut up those morons who think Nick isn't a reporter.

Honestly, I don't think Nick even cares if he'd win on the reporter argument. It's not frivolous, though, so he has every motive to go through and make it, should Judge Chupp decide it's appropriate enough to send to Minnesota.

Oh, yeah. Nick has made it perfectly clear that he's fine with getting deposed if they somehow manage to get a valid court order. Hell, he'd probably enjoy it. This is just for shutting up the idiots talking shit about him. Though, now that I think about it, I doubt it'd have much effect. They don't seem like the type to listen to facts.

I think he definitely cares about protecting his sources, whose identities are protected by Minnesota's shield law. Even if they were able to depose him, they'd have another fight coming if they wanted to try to force him to disclose those names.
