Meet Arnold

The new extreme Hey Arnold series. :3

uh...no. one was a cartoon series (hey arnold!) and the other seems to be a series of edutainment shorts. name aside, these 2 aren't remotely similar.

Everything in the original h3h3 video makes sense, although legalese from the court documents may need legal training to fully understand all its intended implications.

H3h3 was sued for three main reasons ("claims"): copyright infringement, misrepresentation, and defamation.

Infringement Claim

The judge said h3h3's reaction video did not infringe on the copyright of the video they were reacting to because H3h3's video met the criteria of Fair Use. H3h3's reaction video used clips from Hoss's video, but H3h3 also offered enough "comment and critique" to change the original meaning of those clips ("transformative"). "Because the Klein video does not 'offer[] a substitute for the original,' it does not (and indeed, cannot) 'usurp a market that properly belongs to the copyright-holder.'" That means H3h3's video provides a sufficiently different viewing experience than the original video, so H3h3's video doesn't steal the would-be viewers ("usurp a market") of Hoss's video (for the purposes of ad revenue, merchandise sales--whatever Hoss would use that "market" for).

Misrepresentation Claim

H3h3 skipped the judge's ruling on the misrepresentation claim, which alleged that H3h3's counter-takedown notice misrepresented H3h3's copyright over their reaction video. Basically, Hoss claimed H3h3's video, H3h3 claimed it back (? the counter-takedown), and the misrepresentation is Hoss saying, "no, I own your reaction video anyways", I think. They both can't be right, so Hoss accused H3h3 of abusing DMCA's mechanisms, which is apparently a separate offense from copyright infringement. Since the judge found H3h3's reaction video not in violation of Hoss's copyright, the misrepresentation claim couldn't be true and was invalid.

Defamation Claim

The defamation claim was basically grasping straws, and seemed to use for evidence comments from H3h3 in a separate "Lawsuit" video (a video from H3h3 announcing the lawsuit). In order for the defamation claim to succeed, H3h3 must have stated some "false facts" ("actionable opinions", I Googled that one ) about Hoss. The judge found that whatever false facts Hoss accused H3h3 of stating were either opinions or would not have changed the public's opinion of Hoss, so H3h3's comments didn't fit the legal definition of defamation. The judge also found reason to disagree with Hoss's ("hyper-literal", "strained", "unsupported") interpretation of H3h3's comments.

Footnote

The judge also offered a potentially precedent-setting comment on the Fair Use status of the reaction video genre. "Some reaction videos, like the Klein video, intersperse short segments of another's work with criticism and commentary, while others are more akin to a group viewing session without commentary. Accordingly, the Court is not ruling here that all 'reaction videos' constitute fair use." On the one hand, the judge made a distinction between types of reactions videos, further implying that not all reaction videos are Fair Use. On the other hand, we know H3h3's video is Fair Use for the reasons stated by the judge, so H3h3's reaction video may become a de facto legal example of Fair Use reaction videos (and maybe broader commentaries) if this issue is brought to court again.

Disclaimer telling people not to be idiots make unfounded assumptions that I might have any legal training (I don't) just because I offered an interpretation of a legal document. Here's an 87 minute video, which I haven't watched, from a lawyer who has followed this case from the beginning.

Okay, thanks for the paraphrased transcript. And, yeah, even if it is from a lawyer, you should never take any statement as concrete fact when it comes to law. It's up to the judge's own opinion (just as our moderators make the decision whether or not to permit images) how to settle the case.

I finally saw a Ferrari F40 today! I've been waiting for this for years.

Another false accuser being charged!

*starts waiting for a news site to try to defend the false accuser*

The fact that I don't have to do all of the Stunt Jumps, Knife Flights, and "Under the Bridge" tasks in GTA V to get 100% completion, I just have to do half of each in order for them to count.

Happiness is not one of my strong qualities, but seeing other people happy makes me happy.

Puts a smile on my face every time I hear of something good happening to someone.

Original content that is well drawn/painted.

Too many furry scenarios are based on other pornographic images/videos.

An artist should create unique things, when someone in this community does this, it makes me happy.

Male versions of female characters. More so when they don't fuck up the proportions.

I just love how the kitten on his shoulder steps back like "wtf was that pink thing? Do I have one of those?"

Daw. =^-^=

I recently found out my phone has a built-in screen capturing function. I wish I knew that before looking for a screen capturing app. Oh well, at least the one I found has image editing features.

Not being an SJW anymore. That makes me incredibly happy lmao.

Also, textures! I love plushie textures and faux fur in general.

The Lair of Despair in Soda Dungeon, because it reminds me of Earthbound.

Also, this rugby ad.

Yup! Have a lot of friends with all sorts of backgrounds now, can watch stuff without getting mad, not upset about drawings :p Made it easier to get along with my family, too.

Also making me happy rn: finding new stuff in Fallout New Vegas I had no idea about til now. I've got like 2k~ hours in that game but had no idea abt some hidden areas.

eh, that was mildly interesting. looks like there's now a 4th powerpuff girl... and it wound up also being that shows anime moment much like MLP;FIM season...3?'s showdown with tirek.

boy, who knew "him" had such mighty power. that was probably his biggest moment in the entire series to date in a number of ways.

When a game is loaded with so many hidden things that it rewards you for dicking around.

What are the odds that Blisstina was created specifically to inject racial diversity into the show?

well...i'd say at least 40% given a number of factors. >.>

edit and slightly annoying: any of you guys ever bother to read the label on any of those fruit flavored soda drinks?

grape? *checks label* 0% juice...

fruit punch? *reads label* 0% juice...

it's little more than fruit flavored water really. well, fizzy fruit flavored water but still. could probably make about the same thing with some kool-aid mix and club soda assuming it stays fizzy long enough to get cold.

i mean, i don't dislike that stuff but i would like some actual fruit JUICE every now and then. though i suppose that'd be more expensive. >.>

Games with seasonal and holiday-specific content. It's a nice little touch that many developers can (within reason) include in their games but often don't.

Too bad the holiday content usually only covers Christmas, Easter and Halloween. It's very rare to see other international holidays covered (Valentine's Day, Father's Day, etc.) and country-specific ones (Australia Day, Independence Day, etc.) are almost never covered.

At least with soda, you kinda expect it to not have juice in it unless it explicitly tells you it does. Fruit drinks, on the other hand, fool you into thinking they're all juice when they are ~25% at most. The rest is flavouring and water, and maybe some vitamin C.

UK on a roll, jails another false accuser!

how many does that make now? 3 or 4? still, pretty good news in general considering these false accusations can and usually do end up ruining the victims life from that point on.

This is amazing.

Or maybe orange juice + soda stream.

Well, it doesn't make me happy exactly but I'd be less happy if I wasn't.

Stat holidays when working 4, 10-hour shifts;
the 3-day work week is great!

I have a morbid curiosity and honestly seeing a picture of the Vegas shooter lying dead in his own pool of blood made me happy.

It's a shame it was self inflicted though, and he didn't give a chance for the police to do the dirty work.

oooo sounds like fun gonna check that out

found it, yeah pretty good pic. seems pretty obvious in retrospect that someone who looks like a hairless dr robotnik would be an angsty little shit. there's also a ton of videos of the crowd being shot into, the lighting on almost all of them sucks tho

I found myself with time and inspiration, so I put this together. Probably overdid it, but such is the affect of reading a Poe story.

This community makes me happy. Nice to find people with similar interests, and it's also nice to see that this place isn't filled with a bunch of SJWs. At least not from what I can tell. That surprised me.

Also, people aren't afraid to criticize artwork here. I like that. Granted, I don't see critical comments all that often anyways. But when they do appear, they're usually deserved in one way or another. The few times negativity does actually surface... some artists complain about it? I know that not all criticism is constructive but come on, this is the internet! What do you expect? People want to speak their minds is all. That's healthy and should be encouraged as far as I'm concerned. You know, just take the criticism into consideration.

People shouldn't be forced to appear nice all the time. I'd rather hear somebody post their own true thoughts about art, instead of lying and pretending to like it. If feelings are hurt, who cares? As long as nobody is being blatantly racist or part of a hate group, you know?

And often the weirdo comments are singled out and down-voted/hidden anyways. So the community seems to self-moderate itself in a way.

[/rant] lol
