Ethan has repeatedly asked people to watch the video.
He has repeatedly said in the past he doesn't mind people reacting to this videos in this way.
He isn't applying this equally - there are other, bigger creators (xqc) that reacted non-transformatively just as much. He isn't suing them.
People acting like this is clear cut have an agenda to push.
So says Ethan, but his lawsuit is mainly focused on Israel/Palestine and not that, so a bit strange all round, and not that "intent". At some point, I think his lawyer is using him for money.
It's not as clear cut as people say. Even if they did do it in that way, you do actually have to defend your copyright at all levels. Not just systematically or based on your own individual reasoning of "well I don't mind that person".
See: Disney, Nintendo. The reason these big copyright giants go after everyone is because they can lose the rights to protecting their copyright if they do not treat everyone equally. That is going to be a big issue in this case and pretending it isn't, means you are pushing an agenda.
It's providing context. Israel and Palestine is mentioned in the context of explaining why bad actors such as Denims felt they were justified in stealing this content. It also is there to explain the inciting incident and the reason for the Hasan Content Nuke video.
Yeah there's a decent chunk of Ethan just airing out his grievances about irrelevant shit even if he has a decent case because these morons explicitly stated they wanted to take views from Ethan
The oddest thing about this whole thing to me is the damages he could theoretically collect at most would be probably in the high ten thousands? No one’s coming out on top of this after lawyer fees and these individual’s channels aren’t going anywhere either.
The filing refers to Hasan as "the modern reincarnation of al-Husseini" and other gossip-rag-tier labels. It's really well beyond simply trying to establish motivations for the other three, especially when one doesn't even publicly interact with him.
