The reddit mods that organized people to call CPS on h3 and wrote and pinned instructions on how to perform copyright infringement on his videos should legitimately be unmasked and included in the lawsuit.
The Reddit lawyers arguing fair use obviously did not see the part where the mods literally urged users to intentionally watch the other channels to not give any views to h3, and the other channels that were features had also declared that the purpose was to steal views and nothing else, which is why it was NOT fair use.
I'm 100% for encouraging people to use other means to view the content of people who they don't agree with. It's absolutely a shit system where you have to contribute to someone's views and engagement just to be critical of them.
You already can view his content without contributing. Just use an adblocker. But when you encourage others to watch people who steal his content and don't make fair use content you are instead intentionally causing harm to the creator, which the creator has a right to sue over.
So people can be critical and not contribute. This is about intentional harm and getting caught doing it.
Ya I don't agree with that. But I also don't agree with giving a shit if content creators get paid. They contributed to so much of the issues we have today. They can all get fucked. They're the worst and if the Internet becomes a hostile place to those parasites we'll all be better off
