Comment on Reddit Mods Sued by YouTuber Ethan Klein Fight Efforts to Unmask Them

When you buy new dogs, you can expect there to be shit everywhere, especially if they get sick, CPS is not something you call knowing the full context. The CPS calls were definitely out of hate, not concern, and the calls themselves aren’t even the issue. The mods urging people to call, however, is targeted harassment.

The lawsuit has a legitimate basis, and if it truly was a frivolous lawsuit, denims et al. would have filed a motion to dismiss, which they didn’t.

Again it’s the point he was yelling everyone in the house had the parasite and shit everywhere. He doesn’t even have proof who called cps, it’s simply him doing a frivious lawsuit.

They are working to have it thrown out

The defendants’ lawyers said the subpoena to unmask moderators should be quashed because Klein can’t prove his case of copyright infringement, but also because revealing such information could put the Does’ in harm’s way. “The balance of equities weighs in favor of Does’ anonymity and quashing TEI’s Subpoenas in their entirety,” the filing said.

Again it’s simply Ethan upset people were criticizing him.

  The lawsuit is about the copyright infringement, not the CPS call. The mods organized for users to perform copyright infringement. The CPS calls are just a side thing as a “also, these people are horrible”.
  
  Also, the ones trying to throw it out are the Reddit lawyers, not Demin’s lawyers. Reddit is defending Reddit. Also, there being no proof is a lie. Unless Reddit deleted the data entirely, which would be illegal, there definitely is a deleted thread on Reddit where mods urged people to commit copyright infringement, because I personally saw it.

    Which again by his own landmark case isn’t infringement just him trying to take out frustration no one actually cared about his content nuke.
    
    Denims isn’t involved at all in this case or the cps, as admitted when Ethan had to do an apology.
