PLEASE DSP! Please enter the lolsuit era and help reinforce your status as a pathetic retarded lolcow who doesn't understand anything about how the law works. Please go full retard and sue some random international detractor clipper for extra retarded lolsuitery.

Please blow whatever you have left from your addictions on frivolous lawsuits until the judges just start dismissing every single case you try to file. The amount of seethe and rage we will get from that scenario will be amazing and I need to see you convince yourself the detractors got to all the judges and lawyers.
 
I think DSP has a case against Raw Phil and Raw Phil alone. What I don’t think he has is a clear path to damages. How can Phil claim that people on a channel made to mock him would have given him that money instead? They already had that chance and chose to sub to Raw Phil. Raw Phil does not prevent people from tipping Phil.

Phil probably could get Raw Phil taken down, but is it worth the time, money, and effort when he'd still have a bunch of other transformative restreamers parodying him? Even Phil knows it's not, which is why he's talked about it for 15 years but has never done shit.
This is the big thing. Channels getting taken down for copyright reasons is super common. Think about all the streamers who got in trouble for licensed music and what not before video games started offering safe for stream options. Or less innocent examples, people that blatantly upload TV shows/movies for people to watch. They tend to get caught pretty frequently, but they simply get taken down. Heck, even in some of the "bigger" cases, they rarely sue for damages, they just want the content taken down.

Not all lawsuits are about getting massive settlements, going against RawPhil would basically be nothing more than a cease and desist. I don't think the channel is even monetized, and while the channel ultimately gets more views than Phil, it's still tiny numbers by YouTube standards, not enough to amount to any significant damages for a lawyer to care about, since their payment tends to be a % of whatever their client makes + general legal fees. Something like this would basically be a waste of time.

Realistically, if a lawyer was smart, they'd charge Phil $500 to have their paralegal take 5 minutes to produce a generic cease and desist form. Raw Phil would go down...and then probably be back up as Raw Phil 2 or Immortal Raw Phil or something in less than 24 hours.

But yeah, as others have said, Phil isn't actually doing any sort of lawsuit. It's hardly the first time he's talked about it, and it's certainly not going to be the last, but like with all the other times, Phil won't even look at contact information for lawyers.
 
Stop the cope. RawPhil, as much as I like him, steals Phil's content. Ask yourself if your "transformative" alterations would fly with a Hollywood movie. No, you'd get fucked six ways to Sunday. The difference however is that Phil doesn't have the smarts, patience, money, or mental health to start multi year process of suing his detractors.
The thing is phil broadcasts himself on the internet for free. This isnt like rebroadcasting a movie that you would typically have to pay to watch. The restreamers are taking a free broadcast and also broadcasting it for free. Phil would likely have an argument to get raw phil shut down but that's likely all he could do, there wouldn't be any damages because its just a free rebroadcast of a free stream.
 
Why would you think that, if youtube doesn't shut it down your recourse is to take it to court, the cops aren't ticketing you for copyright on youtube or something, if he isn't going to get through DMCA he has no other option than to go to court and spin the wheel on litigation, the Sargon case took years and tons of money to get through, Phil or anyone who thinks that it would be a low cost slam dunk and a payout for Phil is dreaming.
depends on who he sues (he won't anyways)

If he sued youtube, then sure, he'd go to court and all that, assuming he's that stupid.

If he sued rawphil, rawphil just takes the channel down.
Can't imagine, whoever rawphil is, he'd be up to litigating stupid shit like this.

Unless...
Plot twist: Rawphil was actually Fred Fuchs all along.

honestly if all the detractor channels went away, phil would drop into irrelevance so fast, no one watching restreamers and detractor channels would ever go to the source if there was no other option, if anything, he'd get trolled so much more.

it really is the ultimate bite the hand that feeds you, he exists now because dectractors shine a spotlight on him, if everyone stopped paying attention to him, his career is over and he knows it.
 
Raw Phil is monetized, he has 99 cent memberships and superchats. I would guess he disabled ad revenue, though. He'd only get a couple bucks per day so why bother.
I've been wracking my brain because Phil keeps saying things like "I'll own your house". I think that he believes that since he makes 200 dollars with 300 viewers, if the restreamers have 600 viewers, then they made 400 and that money should be his. Phil never really did grasp that Twitch thing back in the day that showed he makes more money per viewer than almost anyone else thanks to his begging.
Reminder that Phil has no concept of other minds, everyone else has to work the same way he does

The point about twitch being for leftists and troons is true.
Twitch is a cesspool but he had no problem using that cesspool to make money. He only cares(but not really) because they won't satisfy his apology fetish and welcome 'the king' back with open arms.

If Twitch offered to give him back everything he had he'd run back and memoryhole his whole 'twitch is for lefties' rant.

Who is he trying to pander to anyway? the disdain for DSP is bipartisan and includes people from all walks of life.

All Phil has to do is lift his retarded chat limitations and maybe embrace TTS donations, but his fragile ego couldn’t handle it.

The main thing restreamers offer is a chat that isn’t moderated by the gestapo, if Phil wasn’t such a thin-skinned bitch he could be milking his detractors just as hard as his wheelchair bound fans, but he wouldn’t be Phil if he did that.

Phil is right leaning (always was). However, he thought he could bring people over from the left to watch him; however, he has a long history of saying “faggot” and making edgy nazi humor, so it didn’t work. That’s why he went to Kino and took their edgy /pol/tard crowd and declared “WOKE IS DEAD” to bring them in. These people don’t care who they watch as long as they hear them say “faggot”. Now he’s upset that the edgy teens are gone and took their money with them. That’s why he been pissing about kick chat for the past month
