if you dont know, h3h3 makes videos humorously critiquing other youtuberes online. like pranksters or just cringey stuff.

they made a video about a dude and that dude sued them saying it was copyright infrindgement (they used his clips in their videos to talk about them). he made all these outrageous claims and its been like a year of legal struggles for them.

but they won. hooray!

I concur.

This is good news. Too bad they had to go through it all in the first place. I hope they counter-sue for damages and get legal fees covered.

Yeah. I'm actually not really a fan of h3h3. The only time I've ever watched their videos is when someone linked them here, but I heard a lot about the lawsuit and it seemed like fucking bullshit that h3h3 really needed to win for 1) precedent and 2) they were also morally in the right.

Please with the outcome. I hope they countersue for legal fees.

Papa bless.

The idea of lawsuits like these are to bully people with low capital into settling because they can't afford the costs of defending the case. That might have happened except the VAPE NATION came through with donations to pay their lawyer and court fees for the suit.

A victory for justice and all the Hila Kleiners out there.

The video was tame as all hell, i cant believe he picked THAT one to sue them over. That being said, check out this cool Joey Salads video. I did not like him but this videos hilarious and relevant.

Nah they're really nice people and they actually have helped out a lot of other Youtubers with stuff like take-downs and demonetization. They just don't pull punches on frauds and fucked up people on Youtube, like Joey Salads.

I'm sure he will. That lawsuit was bullshit and he knew it. I'm sure he just did it for the publicity.

No, he's trying to write a video to address the trial where he can spin this to his advantage. Like "Yeah I lost the trial, but I was defending my rights and it's not important whether I won or lost."

The video is gonna contain a lot of pretentious smiles while shrugging of the shoulders. "Not like I care anyway!"


Like... I'm 99% sure that's what's going to happen.

I'm not a fan of YouTube drama, but they're about the farthest from being "douches" that you can be.

my favorite part about the trial was hoss sueing for defamation, saying that since Ethan didn't say that he emailed him between the copyright strike and suing him (ethan said "many months passed without anything happening" or something), that it was DEFAMING HIM because it made him look like a trigger happy ,im going to sue you out of no where person.

the email he sent him? AN EMAIL SAYING HES GONNA SUE HIM IF HE DOESNT TAKE DOWN THE VIDEO RIGHT AWAY

GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE WITH THAT SHIT!

They're actually pretty cool guys, especially Hila.

I think a lot of people just see Ethan make loud stupid noises and then assume he's an ass.

That said I think they were douchey when they went after that rich kid for "flaunting his wealth" so what?

They helped critikal (penguinz0) when he had 2 copyright strikes which almost killed his channel. Critikal didn't even ask for their help, as all he did was post on Twitter about his situation.

I expect they won't. Just like Jim Sterling.

They're exhausted and "nice guys" they probably don't want to continue the nonsense court case for another year
