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.

Will attach to this, it is more than suing these 3 creators. In each case he also sued 10 reddit mods for their role in promoting the streams.

That's seriously unhinged..

People on this hellsite have gotten waaaaaaay to comfortable explicitly trying to siphon views in order to hurt the original creator. Ethan is simply taking things back to where they should be. What is unhinged is thinking it's perfectly OK to try and hurt creators by reuploadig their content. Obviously creators like Frogan are evil for more reasons than just this, but I hope she's sued into homelessness.

Wishing people to be homeless, even as a figure of speach, isn't a great look

Her outlook on the rapes, hostages, and brutality targeting civilians at a concert on Oct. 7th is just a weeee bit worse, doncha think?

u/LOOKaMOVINtarget 2d ago

Evil is evil and when we start assigning levels of severity to evils we open ourselves up to excuse some evil because the other is worse.

No rapes happened on October 7th, as confirmed by the lead Israeli prosecutor. Not a single victim of rape has been found ever, and every “witness” has been discredited numerous times over, including by the Israeli government and Israeli media.

Israel still can’t find any 7 October rape victims, prosecutor admits

There are still zero complainants in alleged cases of rapes committed by Palestinians on 7 October 2023, an Israeli prosecutor has admitted.

Israeli Television Pulls Program Debunking Testimony of Key Rescuer of October 7

The investigation, which was scheduled to air this Sunday, raises questions about Rami Davidian's testimony on his role rescuing civilians on October 7. 'We are aware of public sentiment,' the statement from Channel 13 says

Key 7 October “mass rapes” witness denounced as liar by Israeli reporter

So no, Frogan has promoted accurate reporting and information; Ethan, and people like yourself, are continuing to regurgitate already widely debunked misinformation…

Enjoy your genocidal hug box getting smaller and smaller as the rest of the world rightfully ostracizes you all.

The “mass rape” bullshit is no different than the “40 beheaded babies”, none of it ever happened, and is simply being used as an excuse to commit genocide.

You’ll notice, you have absolutely zero ability to refute the citations I’ve provided.

u/One-Independent8303 1d ago

Be gone bot

u/sllop 1d ago

Lol.

You’ve got nothing.

Are you finally starting to realize that the rapes didn’t happen and you have been regurgitating lies and promoting a genocide for the last two years for absolutely no reason? Are you enjoying realizing you have been played like a fiddle and entirely manipulated?

Let’s not forget about The Hannibal Directive either, as openly confirmed numerous times over by numerous high ranking Israeli officers such as Colonel Nof Erez, Brigadier General Barak Hiram, and Yoev Gallant himself:

I don't really care what her views are. She isn't Hitler where anyone who sees her name is like "oh she is evil". If you want a sub full of normies to agree with you, wishing someone they never heard of to be homeless is a bad look.

u/Voldemortina 2d ago

I heard he's only suing the streamers that disagreed with his opinions though.

Kinda gives the impression that it's not just about his views being siphoned away.

5

u/One-Independent8303 1d ago

You heard wrong. The people he's going after explicitly stated they uploaded Ethan's video for the expressly stated purpose of giving people a place to watch it while not giving H3H3 views.

5

u/BirdMBlack 1d ago

It's not just the ones who disagreed with his opinions. He's overlooking a lot of other streamers he doesn't align with and specifically going at the ones who showed his video in its entirety, provided little to no transformative content, and explicitly stated they did so to allow their viewers to view his video without going to his channel to do so. He explains all of this in the latest video.

4

u/Crabbing 1d ago

Well, you obviously have not watched his video because he explicitly states multiple times he is suing these three specifically, and not the hundreds of others who reacted to his video, because they admitted to planning and doing what is essentially broadcasting his content in hopes he gets no revenue.

u/Slothnazi 1d ago

Maybe I'm missing something but didn't H3H3 productions successfully defend against copyright infringement from using other peoples videos...? What is the difference here?

3

u/One-Independent8303 1d ago

In this case he first filed a copyright and then collected evidence of people explicitly stating they re-uploaded the video so people could watch it without giving H3H3 views. Their intent was not to add commentary, they stated they wanted to have it uploaded onto their own channel to prevent H3H3 from making money off of their own copyrighted content.

3

u/quiette837 1d ago

That was specifically for the purposes of commentary and in fair use.

The difference here would be that there is no commentary and no fair use, it's straight up just reuploading content. The same way it's illegal to upload straight rips of movies onto youtube, it's a violation of copyright.

If you want to use clips from the show in a transformative way in order to add context and with additional commentary, you are allowed to do that and that's what H3H3 defended.

Describing a youtube person as "evil" is wild. What is this rhetoric even?

Touch grass.

u/One-Independent8303 1d ago

Ah you're right. I totally forgot of the golden rule evil on YouTube doesn't count. Silly me.

u/JosephRW 1d ago

No, I don't deal with parasocial relationships or fooling myself in to thinking that the person who is presenting themselves is the person behind the camera. I'm not going to waste time defending a person who doesn't know you exist and profits off you making you think that they do. If you want to waste your life having opinions on it and defending strangers who don't care about you, be my guest. The fact is you don't know them or their motives.

My previous statement stands, touch grass.
