Victor Mignogna v. Funimation Productions, LLC, et al. (2019) - Vic's lawsuit against Funimation, VAs, and others, for over a million dollars.

Oh, by the way. Can someone give me a link to "Seinfeld Defense"?
My understanding is that it's a reference to the famous TV series "Seinfeld", but I haven't seen the series itself and couldn't find a matching clip through YouTube. Just curious.

Thinking 100% ONE of the TCPAs getting shut down, and after that who knows, 80%?

When I had heard Ty's latest filing was almost 1200 pages I had kinda thought they were tackling the constitutionality of the TCPA full stop, writing a treatise attacking it outright, something they may have had on hand as a matter of principle. Regardless, they have proven sensible and seem to get more and more evidence and support each day, whereas the defendants *should* be shedding any reasoning person with their mounting hypocrisy.

You cannot stress enough that while represented as a single unit MoRonica's unwed status doesn't grant them any safety or benifit at all, when it comes to being represented by one law firm. Short of settling, one of them will have to shoulder responsibility over the other, and if Ron is as violent and ragefilled as Texas thinks, it paints a bleak situation for Monica even if she is the one that gets off easier (in court).

I also assume the judge will hand their asses to them over their discovery abuse and going back on the "wanting it all out there" despite promising the judge that that wouldn't happen. It's gonna be an interesting day in court!

Its 100% better for the defendants that they didnt bring Nick in for deposition. The twitter spats and shenanigans are one thing, to bring the drama infront of a judge...what the fuck were they thinking even posturing about that??

I think they were trying to intimidate Nick. They believe Nick to be completely incompetent so the idea of going to court would scare him into shutting down the GoFundMe.

Problem is Nick knows what he is talking about so he knew that it would be a pyrrhic victory if co-operated and an absolute wash if he fought it every step of the way.

Got to remember, BHBH works differently from the law firms you see on TV, and it seems how they work somewhat in real life.

You go to a law firm, they assign a lawyer to you, and that dude and a paralegal pretty much deal with your case for you. They may ask other lawyers for help and assistance for ideas-bouncing, but generally you get your lawyer type and he deals with the stuff himself as his assigned case.

You go to BHBH and you're basically hiring the entire fucking firm. Sure, you got a lead on the case but the entire firm pitches in on various meetings, considerations and random white boards which can be scribbled on by any member of the firm. They no doubt hold war councils where all their lawyers sit in and discuss what the best strategy is.

This means, in terms of simple experience in years, you're hiring 100+ years of experience versus the MoRon's combined 30.

EDIT: Should also chip in, that Ty is impressed by Nick's ability to predict. He's coming up with similar, solid strategies they've no doubt considered at their war councils. Meaning Podunk Lawyer in the middle of nowhere, Minnesota is on the same level as a room full of ruthless lawyers and a dude from MENSA.

If I were to compare it to any TV show, it'd be House, except without the spurious-for-the-drama dead-ends and misdiagnoses. Lots of back-and-forth about what things could be, ruling out things it can't be, then eventually deciding that it's not RICO and that someone just needs a good old-fashioned ass-whoopin'.

It's never RICO!

Does anybody know when and why Führer Lemonhead went into protective mode?
Last thing I remember was him tweeting something about his encounter with a certain mosquito.

@AnOminous there seems to be some confusion about Ty not responding to every one of Lemoines asinine arguments, but am correct in assuming that just because Ty did not counter a specific argument does not mean the judge has to accept the argument made. I would assume the judge has wide discretion to make his own argument for why a claim by one of the parties is invalid absent some sort of legal explanation from the opposing side.

The court has no obligation to decide in favor of any legal argument or even to address them, and can in theory even rule for one party or another based on arguments not raised, although this is unusual and problematic if they haven't had a chance to address them.

There's no such thing as a default on a legal argument.

The only important issue on summary judgment is whether there are or are not contested issues of material fact, and any piece of evidence at all suffices to preserve a contested issue.

Funimation argues that its tweets were made in connection with a public concern
about the “health or safety” or “community well-being” of the “anime community.”
However, Funimation fails to provide any evidence or argument defining this amorphous
“anime community.” For example, does this community include every human on the planet
who watches anime or only those who attend anime conventions? Funimation provides no
evidence, or even argument, either (i) identifying the community whose “well-being” is a
matter of “public concern” or (ii) explaining whose “health or safety” is a matter of “public
concern.”

I find this argument compelling. Even if anime conventions didn't exist, there would still be an "anime community." So of course any reasonable interpretation of the term "anime community" would include people who dont attend conventions. How could Vic's alleged "inappropriate conduct" possibly affect the health and safety of people who dont even meet him at conventions?

Nick is pretty chill on twitter for the most part, generally civil and asking questions in ernest.... In sharp contrast to the other side.

Ty has a huge arsenal of corrupt shit that Funi is as good as sunk. With everything that is archived and leaked out to the public, along with Toye's male feminist #ResetTheClock moment there is no way these morons can wiggle their way out of it.

I also think Funi just might be sunk after all of this. Their crusade for social "justice" has exposed a culture of corruption, for example trying to stop people from unsubscribing. There's no way it's "just a glitch" after how convenient the timing of these "glitches" are.

Ty is about to do a fatal blow to these idiots as far as their credibility is concerned. I mean, he has enough to fill 1,200 pages of a legal document!

PS:Think of it as karma for all the DMCAs of parody videos they have done.

Well, I think Funi is 100% fucked after this. Not even because they might lose TCPA or anything. But because this dirty laundry is out in the open. They've been completely exposed for the inept hypocrites that they are, and don't think Sony have noticed this. I imagine dropping a nuke was the intent if they couldn't win, just disable them, permanently and rip their reputation to shreds like they tried doing for Vic.

Their subscriber count is dropping like a stone. With Crunchyroll being a terrible fucking alternative, we might be looking at the destruction of the American dubbing scene unless Sony completely guts and renames Funimation.

Its always baby-shit, low-tier bait that's generally a waste of time to respond to.

I appreciate any 'Devil's Advocate', but its just utter bullshit nonsense I've see repeated a thousand times (narrative, needing to sue everyone involved, address every single thing, Nick is involved in the case, Ty Beard is only YouTubing, etc.). Its not anything new or strong or relevant. At least be interesting and smart when you're trying to bait people, don't regurgitate arguments that have already been disproved.

Also Ty is the senior partner of the firm and is on after hours. He can and does delegate work. To call him irresponsible for being on a Youtube Stream at 11 pm at night is fucking re.tarded.

When a less than $100,000 investment can return a VERY well equipped professional level voice studio, the only way to destroy dubbing of anime in America is for no one with any business sense to try. There is a glut of trained studio engineers out there looking for a job. And no end of potential talent to interview/audition.
