So yeah, looks like this is the big one. Winner takes all. H3H3(AKA the Kool Aid guy from Jontrons Food Games ep and the guy who got in some feud with someone named leafy) is being sued for making a video about someone else's video.

What do you guys think?
I think this is going to be fun and I'm all out of poopcorn.

Fair use has always seemed to be either abused or ignored, seems like if you use it correctly company's will ignore fair use and try to take you down but if you post something you legitimately shouldn't then often it seems to be left alone.

This kind of links back to what Jim Sterling has been doing and purposely posting more copyrighted things as its easier then not doing (not sure if he's still doing that, I don't really follow him). When things like this are both possible and preferable then you know your system is broken and needs work.

Their needs to be a big discussion involving some big media producers, musicians, movie studios, game developers etc, YouTube and some of the bigger YouTubers and all their lawyers to actually come up with a way of working that allows YouTubers to do what they do as well as protect the rights of the copyright holders. I don't think it'll be easy or happen quickly but it does need to happen, boundaries need to be set and both sides need to know not to cross these boundaries.

How did this thread turn into a convo about drinking piss so quickly?
Pretty easy to explain - I am the worst user on the Escapist, and I bring misery and de-rails where ever I go.

Here's an animated simulation to show what I do to threads.

I don't see what the benefit is of drinking your own piss though.
There isn't any. It can actually be dangerous, as well.

Please step away from the piss.

That's a targeting computer that failed to actually hit it's target. I'm assuming I'm supposed to read between the lines, and NOT step away from the piss?

Anyway, I guess I do owe an answer, after all the damage I've caused. So...

1. I'm not a fan of anyone involved in this lawsuit
2. The lawsuit is, as far as I can tell, bullshit
3. It's pretty neat he's starting a fund for youtubers who are getting sued

EDIT: That is, of course, based entirely on OPs links. Still not googling this again.

First off, where is that gif from?

Second, what were you typing cause I just put in "h3h3 lawsuit".
First, Rail Wars, I believe. My understanding is that it's 100% fan service.

Second, I can't recall, and I'm not checking.
To keep up with the de-railment, would you recommend a watch of Rail Wars?

Well, it looks like something is finally happening. Took long enough. I know that The Bible Reloaded has been considering legal action lately, and their not the only ones.

I was going to do some google searching, so as to better provide an opinion. But then this showed up almost immediately somehow.


I know it has absolutely nothing to do with H3H3, or their lawsuit, or anything else, and it showing up was a complete fluke. But I don't care. I'm out of here.
Welp, I won't be kissing her on the mouth.

Ask Bear Grylls he'll know.
Er for your information Bear Grylls drinks the liquid from his ass or squeezes the juice from animal shit, thank you very much.

What the fuck did I just type and why did I know all of that. Delete from brain, DELETE FROM BRAIN!!
No! Do not delete from brain! Drinking poo juice keeps you alive in deserts apparently! Unfortunately, it seems nobody informed him that we can just buy bottled water nowdays.

OT: Who...who and who? Piss? What? I am not clicking on your piss links! The internet history is tainted enough as it is. Sooo...someone drank their own pee and someone else is suing somebody that talked about them drinking their own pee? Am blindly guessing here. Can i go to bed now?

No, Escapist users apparently just have a weird fixation on "water sports."

The person doing the suing here is Matt Hosseinzadeh, a guy who does parkour videos. H3h3 posted a reaction of him a while back, interspersing short clips from one of his videos for context. Matt fired back by suing them for alleged copyright infringement, while h3h3 maintains their video falls well within fair use.
