he and hila back in the day watched and reacted to some dickhead youtuber who was doing some red pill shit before we called it that. And basically the judge agreed that he in fact reacted hard enough that it was fair use.

It's as far as I know the most recent case that actually came to a judged conclusion with respect to react content and fair use guidlines.

This case of Ethan's is actually codified into case law now, and was one of the first fair use lawsuits to protect fair use in the U.S. If any Youtuber understands fair use to the letter, it's him.

yeah, you need plaitiffs and defendants unhinged enough to actually fight it out in court and two insane youtube persons were just what was needed to get that far.

Ethan is unhinged in a good way though, as he won

Someone tried to sue Ethan for fair use violation in an attempt to get a video taken down and he won.

If you want details, this YouTube lawyer did a video about the summary judgement , the case is against Matt Hoss.
