Denims - in true Denims fashion - is confidently charging forward, convinced she'll win. The fact she thinks she'll win is practically evidence she'll lose horribly.
The fair use defense is pretty much dead in the water, and even if it were legitimately in play, would take upwards of six figures to litigate, and Ethan doesn't seem like he's backing down.
Not to get too far into the nerd underbrush, but fair use as a defense has a four part balancing test. No individual factor by itself is always determinative, but sometimes, a factor is so critical that even if you would win on the other three, it carries the day.
In many cases, that specific factor is the impact on the market of the original work, that is, how many people will choose not to seek out the original in favor of the pirated work. In this case, the perps outright stated that their intent was to harm Ethan financially, and that people should watch their derivative streams instead of Ethan's. Showing that even one person chose to do that and that it cost him a single dime would be enough to establish willful infringement, and that is the sort of thing that brings you into the high range of statutory damages, that is to say, $150,000 per infringement without even actually proving damages.
Willful infringement also almost mandatorily puts you on the hook for attorney fees too.
If this dumb cunt goes through this it is a near certainty that she is financially ruined. She will be Ethan's eternal cockslave and every shekel she gets from sucking cock will go straight to him. And as an intentional tort, she won't even have the refuge of bankruptcy.
First one to settle always gets the best deal.
Or as I said earlier in the thread before this kind of predictable outcome.
Only the first rat gets the cheese.
Fun fact for any of the remaining defendants, all outcomes for you are now worse than what Kaceytron got. But keep playing tardball, it's funny.
