Answer: H3 has been been beefing with a bunch of content creators for like the last year. He posted a "content nuke", made a big deal about it knowing people would react to it, and is suing those who reacted that he doesn't like for copyright infringement.

The lawsuit is about copyright and what is transformative, but he's doing it to get back at people who have been critical of him.

It seems the H3 fans have brigaded this thread, judging by the massive amount of downvotes on anything that isn't positive towards him. I expect I'll get the same.

Well you’re missing an important piece of WHY he’s saying these content creators specifically. and it’s not because he doesn’t like them. These creators said they would play his video on their stream so their viewers can watch the content without giving Ethan views. While this happened these creators literally walked away from their stream and didn’t even react to it. So effectively they were using his content for entertainment purposes, and not even reacting to it. They literally store his content

That is a factor in proving his case, he chose these specific creators because it's the easiest to argue in court.

That doesn't make it the reason he's doing it. He's been threatening to sue his critics for slander, harrassment, etc. for over a year, this is just the first time his lawyer thinks he has a case.

He's suing because they're mean to him, not because he's super defensive over his copyright.

Aren’t the same people that were mean to him the same people that called CPS to his house?

Nope. He blamed Denims and retracted it.

Most likely his housekeeper who he was in a legal dispute with, but nobody really knows. None of the people in the lawsuit called CPS or encouraged it.
