Thank you for knowing what you're talking about; this comments section has been very frustrating.

See, courts are made up of lawyers. They are very good at following rules. It makes them very predictable. This is hardly new ground legally - they’re far from the first to try this. There is no legal question here.

His legal fees in this case are paid by YouTube (read: Google) in an effort to discourage spurious DMCA takedowns and defend Fair Use. It’s actually really weird that the article doesn’t mention that.

Well, I find your review of his review style to be pretty negative. You’re just telling people your opinion. You should suggest ways that he can improve his review. It doesn’t seem like you’re really being very constructive.

Seriously dude? If you’re trying to tell the world not to buy Rotten brand rotten eggs, it’s really on you to explain to Rotten that eggs shouldn’t be rotten? That's nonsense.

Why are you confused by this? It’s clearly an opinion - that's how our language works - but even if it wasn't, so what? If I say that your comment is FACTUALLY the Worst Comment of All Time, does that give you some legal recourse?

Should people really profit as much as they do off the misfortune and shortcomings of bad games?

That wasn’t my intention. You said that you got a bunch of stuff out the article that wasn’t there, according to your reading. “According to my read of this article, Sterling has power in the industry...” Well... that’s a bad read.

Sounds like Jim Sterling isn’t polite enough to live in Canada, where apparently criticism has a legal obligation to be constructive. He’ll do just fine in Arizona courts.

In a little baggie, I’d wager

“They do realize this will only make Jim stronger right?” Pretty much sums up this entire story. It’s Streisand Effect in spades.

If a business can’t survive Jim Sterling, it doesn’t deserve to exist. Harsh world. But there it is. No one is owed a living.

They are not being bullied - because they are not children. These people are adults, trying to take people’s money. They are fair game for criticism.

Correct: they have no case.

Okay, “Jennifer”

In this article about someone suing him for 10 million dollars, he comes off as a bully? Seriously?

Shaving, haircuts? A Jedi craves not these things.

“Lock TIE-foils in attack position”

It’s kind of interesting that the Star Wars movies, viewed in sequence, all depict technological regression. Everything was opulence and whiz-bang technology in the prequels. We were mostly in high society rather than hanging out on the fringes with the farmers and rebels, but even a slave-boy on Tatooine could build…
