If anyone has a big stake in defending reaction videos on youtube, it's the Fine Bros. I'm not surprised at all.

This is hilariously ironic and contradictory to these guys.

I think it's more of a strategic PR move on their part than them [I]actually[/I] caring, but whatever. More money to H3H3 is all I care about right now.

Honestly if there ever would be a case that a YT'er would sue another YT'er i would expect them to be the ones pulling it off. Still, fine to see them donating but i still can't get my head around the whole copyrighting "React To" videos
Are people still that uninformed about the fine bros thing?
Literally all that scenario boiled down to was them saying "if you want to use our logos/product name on your content we can do a partnership very easily" at no point were they literally trying to copyright the reaction format in general.
^^Ignore that comment. Let's not derail please.
My god what is happening to YouTube.

It started to go from a bunch of people making content to please the audience to being serious business to figure out how to generate as much money as possible and how to get more subscribers (serious business)
Youtube is never going to be like it was back in 2010 and before

If only there was a good competitor site.
Youtube is the next generation of tv and radios
Its the modern evolution of technology taking off into new form
Because of this laws dont really work with it and no one really knows where to take it
he should backpedal when he still can

Yeah, I question whether or not they can feel actually sorry for what they did though. I think they can stand back and realize they fucked up, and I think they should be allowed to move on from their past. This is regardless of the payment either, but the payment is as nice as it is strategic.
The war between h3h3productions against Bold Guy at this point is like the entire U.S army versus two civilians. Bold Guy is obviously gonna lose this court case.
I took a look at Hoss's channel and jesus, his videos are cringy as hell.

Are they just trying to get some publicity because im pretty sure at this point everyone hates them. Fine bros too.
am I too cynical for just seeing most of these youtuber donations as self-serving? dropping money on something publicly is like the lowest effort way to get brownie points
to be fair there are some big amounts, $2000 definitely has more weight than just 50 bucks or something, but then some of these guys are pretty loaded anyway so

as i said a few pages back, no matter what you think of him or what content you produce, fair use affects everyone
so really at the end of the day, everyone is pretty fucked if h3h3 doesn't win this case

Some of the are probably genuine like Cr1tikal; h3h3 was the one that helped him when his channel was suspended. Then add in the fact as we've already read that [b]everyone[/b] on the internet will be affected in some way.

some of them very much look self serving just because of the nature of how some people act, but even if they are self serving, I mean, investing in the possibility of not being sued for your opinions is a worthy investment
That is enough money for maybe 3 or so cases tops, but hopefully it won't even get to the third due to precedent. This is interesting as literally anyone registered on youtube, apparently, who has a legitimate fair use claim in court, can use this fund.
This is actually probably the best possible outcome from all this.
this is incredible
the money being used solely to defend fair use
even if Bold guy cancels the case this ends up being a fully positive thing, hell even if he wins the case this will still be positive
I hope this grows and ends up improving youtube for the better

There's no way he will win. He would need to go all in and right now PR easily spins this in H3H3's favor. At this point I doubt he will continue, but he might do a hail mary at the judge to see if anything sticks off the bat.
i think h3h3 broke the gofundme servers
It's kind of crazy to think like a month or so ago the infighting on youtube was reaching high profile levels and now everyone's just cut the shit and banded together. About time the community showed its nice side.
I was worried about what they were going to do with the money, because they didn't intend to ask for it, and they got so much more than they need now. That FUPA fund is a genius idea.
that list has basically everyone

I have always wanted to see something like this, it was thought that Amazon would come with something but they made a platform which is not really accessible for the average user nor does it allow simple uploads but rather complete videos.
