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 thought Denims did the CPS call? ๐คก
Demins is the one who after being accused of organizing the campaing, deflected the blame onto the subreddit mods and agreed to let the lawsuit include them.
She didn't do that either.

Legal mindset goes through the court documents in this video explaining how Denims did in fact agree to h3's request to obtain the mods' personal identifying information so that they can go after them instead of her.

Ah yes the YouTube lawyer is an expert here.
Oh look here's him at providing why it's not actually a case of copyright infringement.
She didn't do that, Ethan just wanted a scapegoat.
I am not saying she did it. She was accused of doing it, and after that during an early stage in the lawsuit process, she agreed with h3 lawyers to request reddit to disclose information in order to subpoena the reddit mods that did it. Which is what OPs article states Reddit lawyers have pushed back against.
