All I can say is Tuesday is gonna be good
On a slightly unrelated note I know Phil always bitches about detractors illegally resteaming him is what people like LSB Tevin ect do actually illegal in any fashion or is he just whining because muh views?
Gray area. Good luck getting a lawyer to actually press charges over it though.
Not definitely illegal. At most possibly against YouTube's terms of service, and I even doubt that. Nobody gives a shit regardless though.
Because YouTube themselves don't give a shit, the big broadcasters have companies policing the net and taking down all restreams. They only take action if someone reports or legal claims are made.
This mostly comes down to streaming rights in general. Sports livestreams are almost always held exclusively by one network for that team/game/series. Streaming commentary over some faggot streaming commentary over content that he doesn't legally own the rights to in the first place is a lot different than trying to stream the Bronchos playing while it's live on Fox. Of course when you're dealing with a million dollar corporation trying to protect their bottom line, you're going to get fucking nuked.
Phil has to make a complaint himself to Youtube and prove its him. His underlings can't. If Phil did, Tevin would be shut down immediately.
For as much as he seems to complain about it his reluctance to do something about it is surprising
Because you have to have a license to broadcast those events, OR have the cable subscription to view them. Watching a twitch stream is completely free, the only people actually getting "robbed" during restreams is twitch themselves because people aren't subjected to ads. I suppose it is hurting Phil to an extent, because that ad revenue is shared, but were talking less than $10 probably per restream.
This isn't a maybe, it's basically mandatory. You really think there is any scenario where Nancy just trusts a debtors appraisal of their house in an asset case?
Can't wait till they go over the statements to see what he spent that money on. I think I speak for most when I say that it's hard to see him spending this absurd amount on groceries and fast food as he claimed in the meeting.
It isn't surprising to me at all. PP has crafted an entire sad sack identity for himself centered around the idea that trolls ruined his career and continue to harass him while he's just a genuinely good guy trying to play games and have fun. It's an easy way to get wheelchair symbols to pity him and Tevin is an easy boogeyman to point to and blame things on. Paul is not a video game streamer. At this point he's basically a drama streamer who plays video games in the meantime. It's why he never misses an opportunity to bring it up and talk about it or talk about how he's not going to talk about it. Actively working to rid himself of detractors, restreamers, etc. is directly against his financial interests at this point. His paypiggies are now routinely giving him $100+ per stream for him to wear a fucking vest just to own the detractors. Hell people pay him just to try and fuck with him or bait him into some stupid response. What I'm saying is that DSP's relationship with his haters is highly symbiotic at this point and making genuine efforts to hurt them only stands to hurt him as well.
The stuff that people hate about Tevin/LSB (commentary, soundclips, text to speech, gifs and elaborate layouts...) would go far in protecting them as a 'transformative' work that serves as criticism or mockery. DarkDave would be the far easier legal target, but Phil wouldn't be interested because there is no defined popular personality ribbing him and calling him out. Phil doesn't actually care about protecting his content - he cares about being able to get a win over these people that dare to challenge the pignosis. Copyright is just the bludgeon he fantasizes about being able to use.
The part that got me about this wasn't even just that it's incredibly stupid that he was capping off his maxed out credit cards with groceries after he realized he was insolvent.
Why did Phil stop paying on all his CitiBank cards in October? I thought you were supposed to keep paying at least minimum payments until you actually file your bankruptcy claim? Did Phil stop payment on all his cards in October?
