He is suing because MSU tapped into his YouTube feed without his permission, which is copyright infringement. He isnt claiming there was anything proprietary in the trivia questions themselves. The Hitler part of the equation just ratchets up the embarrassment and damages aspect.
People talk a lot about Hitler and Nazis. I think they would **** their pants if they ever had to deal with the real thing.
Similar to the Human Centipede clause in the Apple liscenses.
My thoughts:
I skimmed it, still they guy wants publicity, or he would say, I see you used my video, please do not do so again, without permission.
In addition to using his content without permission, their apology referred to the "inappropriate content by a third-party source" and stated that they wouldn't use the third-party source in the future, as if he was involved or had done something wrong.
They don't settle. It sets a precedence, and other lawyers will take it as a sign of weakness and go after them. They will start having many lawsuits. If Disney fights this small law suit other lawyers will stay away from them.
Correct. If they can establish a precedent that the Disney+ terms and conditions force an arbitration for all claims against ANY unit of Disney, then they're going to save themselves a lot of problems in the future.
I’m currently reading The Rise and Fall of The Third Reich by William Shirer. Dude was a reporter for one of the NY newspapers that was sent to Germany early to cover the Nazi party and was pretty much there through the Nuremberg trials. He had access to all the Nazi records in preparation for the trials and later wrote this book. What Hitler accomplished and how he did it was amazing. Hitler was like the original Forrest Gump, it’s amazing how lucky and opportunistic he was. It’s really eye opening the parallels between 1930’s Europe and present day America, not just politically but socially. There’s a lot more different but there’s some similarities. Not pointing to either political party, just general observation.
Here’s where the mistake was made in my opinion.
