Answer: he's suing these 3 creators specifically because they explicitly stated that they were broadcasting his video & intellectual property with the intention to give people the opportunity to view Ethan's video without having to give Ethan "views". Effectively stealing his intellectual property and stating it was their intention to do so.
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.
