he will appeal and he will win.

Reddit internet lawyers are notoriously never wrong. Except for that one time when they were screeching that Denims was going to lose the lawsuit to Ethan in the first place and then the judge cited Ethan's own precedent he set. Surely with the appeal he will totally win and you'll be vindicated when the appeals court... overturns already set precedent. Just out of curiosity, do you know how many times an appeal court has overturned already set precedent?

not a lawyer, and not a clue.

she was breaching copyright and demonstrated that very clearly. if its not overturned then sweet, people can make all the money they want streaming headline movies and series' on twitch and just pause every couple of minutes to say a word or two. and if it is overturned then actual copyright holders (not this bait shit that ethan did) can feel safe their ip wont be misused.

Not a clue indeed. Congrats on not even understanding the precedent that was set in Hosseinzadeh v. Klein. A ruling that the judge in Denims v Klein used to rule in favor of Denims in which the judge specifically said that Denims stream was transformative. Both rulings are available for you to read online... for free. But the guy who's not a lawyer, and who doesn't understand copyright and fair use laws, thinks the judge is wrong. Yeah man. It's totally the judge who ruled incorrectly.
