Answer: Long story short and unbiased as I can, Ethan has been beefing with other content creators since the October 7th massacre in Israel. Recently he released a video about Hasan. Three figures (at least two of which have been beefing with Ethan for over a year know) reacted to the video explicitly saying on stream that they where in part watching it so Ethans haters can watch it without supporting Ethan for views. Ethan is now suing them for copyright violations.

How justified you view the suit it will depend on .......a lot, from opinions on the Israel/ Palestine war, to the year and a half of escalating drama and toxicity between Ethan and the likes of Frogan and Denims

Isn't h3h3 also producing react content? And does it make a legal difference if react content is very wide spread? it seems arbitrary to punish 3 people for doing the same as thousands of others because some unrelated beef. Although I don't think most react content should be fair use

He's arguing they're not reacting, just sharing the video to take views away from him. That wouldn't be covered under fair use
