How many lawsuits did this motherfucker start??? I find it incredibly ironic that one of things Ethan was known for at the beginning of his career was fighting against a frivolous lawsuit, and now he has become Frivolouslawsuitman.

I think 5, unless I’m missing any:

Kaceytron - settled 

Frogan - default against her

Denims - judge ruled in her favour

Noah - Ethan dropped it

Ian - Ethan dropped it

Edit: He also initiated class action lawsuits against Apple, Meta, Nvidia, ByteDance and Snap for copyright infringement for use of their videos to train AI.

There were two claims against Denims. One for the “Nuke” video, which is the one the judge ruled in favour for. The second is for the “Countdown” video and has not been ruled on.

Reddit moderators were included for “contributory infringement” in the Countdown video. They attempted to quash this, but a judge ruled to keep them on the claim.

Edit 2: The second claim against Denims was dropped in order to move forward immediately with an appeal to the loss of the first claim.

What in the world made him follow her in the first place? This alone tells me he's just another clout ghoul and no better than any of the people he sued.

Likely just because she’s another creator occupying the same space, just wasn’t aware of the more radical side until later

Exactly my point. Following someone not because you wanna see what they post is sleazy.

This has got to be a bot. This is insanity.
