00:00okay so we're back ah we're back and uh this time we have a reaction video from smash jt
00:18the title is h3h3's loss just changed youtube forever smash jt right there so again i'm going
00:27to talk over the video and if you don't like that uh just go to smash jd's channel and watch the video
00:36there without that with that said let's go and start and see
00:45what's the smash smash jd's reaction to the ethan vine
00:51last week video h3 h3 productions is suing three creators and i believe it's denims and let's see
01:07denims frogan and caseytron so i have not seen this video yet many people have shared it with me
01:15so we're gonna do a raw live reaction here hi there my name is ethan klein and my favorite
01:24heart and uh smash jd what are you willing dollars on lawyers today i invite why do you have me and
01:32ethan who extra eyes on your head are my favorite past time with you join me in creating generational
01:41wealth for my attorney that's a great intro let me tell you guys a story about a year and a half ago
01:51it's a big conversation called react gate react gate was a debate going on in the streaming community
01:57about what constituted fair use people like hasan xqc and many of the large twitch streamers would watch
02:03other creators entire video on their stream they would rarely add sufficient commentary or even how did
02:09he not say anything about sniper wolf by the way but anyways pause the video to speak most egregiously
02:15they would yeah exactly what i was uh like thumbnail rap thing so that they could i was reacting to that
02:22from the original where sniper let me know or sss sniper wolf i don't mind people reacting to my videos
02:29but i do mind when they play the entirety of my video a face cam in the corner or the occasional
02:35interruption does nothing to address that issue my video is still being played from beginning to end
02:41in someone else's stream or video it's neither ethical nor necessary to feature the entirety of
02:46someone else's work or you know they could do the bare minimum and ask for permission something that
02:52none of the major reaction channels have ever done when they should i should i reach out to hdh3
02:56before i react to this video no no you don't have to stream to re-upload my videos but to ask your
03:03question no i i don't want people to stream re-upload the entirety of my videos now understandably
03:10this made a lot of people angry because why should these content thieves essentially get more views
03:17than their author of the video which in a lot of cases was happening i mean people don't like
03:21injustice and this just we all see this and no it's not right i wish that would happen to my channel
03:26see one of the prime suspects called into my show to debate me unfortunately it's never going to
03:32happen on my channel so in that regard do you care at all about like so smashjt is just sitting there
03:40watching like the fact that it's illegal does that matter it might be illegal uh does that matter to you
03:46uh no it doesn't matter well if flat out doesn't because that's fair i gotta tell you i'm not the biggest
03:54fan of xqc i don't understand the draw to him he just he strikes me as a a very egregious douche
04:02i don't i don't understand how some people just get super popular i'm like what what the hell is his
04:09draw what is it just being douchey i don't get it watch me full screen can do the warm and watch your
04:16do that then watch your prime content for a week do a week of no reaction content and see how many
04:21views you get oh okay sure
04:28i mean that's content man it's original content at least the ultimate debate bro he hit him with the worm
04:34oh why didn't i think of that first i kid xqc but he is not the one i'm suing despite my criticism
04:41he's not a malicious infringer sgd doesn't understand what uh excuse he is like a douchey guy i don't i
04:49don't get i'm sure people say that about me too but i mean hey potato potato see are much much worse
04:56now ironically after this debate and in the wake of this large conversation the problem seems to have
05:02only gotten worse you have people like hassan piker paving the way of fair use with what's known as
05:08chair reacts when hassan gets up to go to the bathroom or to eat or to talk to his mom or to
05:14do whatever disappears for an extended period of time and leaves the video playing for his chair
05:20mr chair they call it idf had warned people to leave the area around the main airport in sauna
05:26uh did hassan just say i gotta pee and cough and then just get up while his video is playing and walk
05:36away yes
05:45and as you can see smash that uh the chair is very transformative from one month of footage guys
05:54i'll be right back
06:06and it was in this setting that i formulated an idea what if i could make a long form irresistible piece
06:14of content that i knew that these streamers couldn't resist they couldn't i thought i was original with
06:20chair jt all these people did it before me apparently but they don't have eyes so we still got that avoid
06:28the temptation of watching it yeah uh what's with the ice
06:34it's not that i is there a meme about ice in the internet right now i knew they would watch the entire
06:41video add little to no commentary react to it instantly giving them no time to form an opinion
06:47the trap was set and it worked even better than i imagined it would we captured pretty much every
06:53large streamer reacting to it in its entirety immediately after it was published now the thing
06:58is there were a few people that went above and beyond to commit copyright infringement for example
07:06denim sits here silently with nearly 50 000 live viewers that's 30 see look look at that
07:12viewership i i batting reaction subreddit moderators to siphon views and their intentions couldn't be
07:19clear that is the reaction from a sticky post her eyes are batting hey everyone we've seen a lot
07:24that is the reaction to watch the nuke without showing support for a besides besides the creators
07:30you know besides the cleavage aging with us directly the other reaction is the eye batting reaction here
07:36they're offering and also the looking like a smug for my work this is the is also a copyright reaction
07:43the snark subreddit has been a frequent and persistent infringer that's how i knew when this
07:48video came out the snarkers were going to encourage promote and push streamers to commit copyright
07:54infringement i should thank the snarkers actually because of their predictability they acted like double
07:59agents for us incriminating their favorite streamers and serving them up on a golden platter
08:04so thank you snark it's one thing for us well i mean i'd almost argue like this is not illegal
08:12and there's no problems with this if people want to watch someone else react to the content that's fine
08:17i go back to the well if they're just sitting there and staring at it so that h3h3 doesn't get
08:23the view and someone else does then yes that's where the issue is but just them serving this up here
08:29there's nothing wrong or illegal with this here specifically subreddit to admit it's engaging in
08:36copyright infringement but how do you get i know max k i know he didn't claim it was illegal i don't
08:40mean to say he is i i guess i'm just clarifying in case people are getting that out of this
08:45streamers themselves to admit that they're stealing content
08:49well guys uh if you enjoyed um not giving any views to that terrible video follow subscribe throw
08:58a prime if you like the content if you know denims i first found out about this character when she was
09:06the one that was uh dog whistling or slightly encouraging people to put a bounty on on grums
09:13i believe it was her and i was just like what why is this okay how is this okay oh yeah and she's
09:21just like oh it's just a joke brah it's just she's so forgettable that i forget about it i'm like
09:25well i thought i thought i first uh you know learned about this because that's after or this person
09:32in uh tech tones video but i was wrong so i'm not mixing her up with someone else she was the grums
09:37bounty girl right yeah that's how i know her like you're right match hard denims was
09:43that is yeah that's that's where i also now now i'm remembering my brain made a mental note of
09:49she's dead to me she's the uh the bounty girl they just do it for you wow cook up a more incriminating
09:57statement if you tried denims the queen of self-owning you prevail again there's one thing about copyright
10:03you should know is well the thing with denims too is she's like such a trap because if she wasn't
10:10i would say she's attractive if she wasn't attractive no one would give a shit about her
10:15so all she really has is no the people watching her to her that they're watching her cleavage
10:22nothing insightful nothing deep they're just just cute girl that you got to register it before you
10:31publish to be eligible for statutory damages and attorney's fees which is the main biting force of a
10:38copyright infringement lawsuit well i'm happy to tell you guys now i ethan klein have registered
10:43a son piker content nuke with the united states library of congress some of you guys out there
10:51sweating even though theoretically i could sue a lot more creators and rake in millions of dollars
10:57but the purpose of this is not financial gain people like xqc and asmengold may have watched the
11:03entire thing but i would never sue them just for doing that i don't want to chill the reaction
11:07community into fear actually the opposite see the cleavage smash all unite against this that is the
11:13content behavior they're not the cleavage is the content this is great this is great because he's
11:19trying to get it back to the authentic people reacting to actual videos instead of what it's
11:24turning into only makes us all look bad but could destroy the commentary community as we know it
11:31well guys uh if you enjoyed um not giving any views to that terrible video follow subscribe throw a
11:39prime the state of reaction content on twitch is so broken these creators feel comfortable looking
11:46right into a camera and saying outright hey i'm stealing this guy's content pay me instead of him
11:52this is not a healthy environment and with people like hassan reacting to entire tv shows on stream my
11:58fears that sony or disney comes along sues everybody and sets a devastating precedent that could endanger
12:04our entire field now before i tell you who the three people i'm suing are i just want to make it
12:09clear that they all met this very specific high bar of criteria that i set that forth earlier these
12:17people were not targeted based on their gender their identity their political beliefs all three are on
12:22this list in fact they're the only three as far as i could tell that reacted to the full video drum roll
12:29please who's sweating at home guys casey tron the queen of ripping farts and bong loads they do musicals
12:37they're very musical people are you being serious dog what do you look you think i made this frogan what the
12:45hell was that who blessed her soul she's still rising can i use it can i walk away and use the
12:52bathroom do i have permission i mean
13:00she's retarded and i've watched videos of her and i'm like yep that confirms what people have said about
13:06her who who are the people that watch her that that is actually the question that i feel it needs to be
13:18answered more than anything who watches these people oh and why is it because the algorithm feeds it to
13:26people because it's just a self-fulfilling prophecy of popularity or is there really something about them that
13:33people care about i'm genuinely curious can i can i use the bathroom please i'll leave it playing
13:51apparently thinks which is liable for me interviewing a yemeni teenager who's only known genocide his entire
13:56life and denims the queen of self-owning and my god is she the queen of that
14:02it's very obvious from the way that guy's talking he's a speaker by the way that that shirt she's
14:07wearing with the zipper that zipper is all the way down
14:15wow he's leaving quite a bit to the imagination smash jd notice like uh she knows exactly what i've
14:21been saying that for like she's making sure the camera is that's long many videos get the entire
14:27that the uh that the content is the cleavage i mean it's a good show i'm just saying she knows what
14:35she's doing go fan oh my god i love you i'm so sweaty bro i love you both none of the hostages that
14:42have been released so far have said that they have been raped the hostages have public statements you
14:47can go look at them the sexual assault i experienced should never happen to any human
14:52being this yemeni kid is just a yemeni kid with a gun and is not a houthi and there is no proof of
14:57him being a houthi are you a soldier yes that seems pretty definitive he never said hassan nasrallah was
15:04a good guy i can't believe i'm calling nasrallah base i mean listen now for the fun part let's take a
15:10look at the complaints and let's start with my favorite of the stairs into the abyss after that
15:17the very own the prestigious the highly acclaimed the highly analytical casey tron i don't know i
15:26don't know this one at all this is i knew the other two or knew of the other two i've never heard of
15:30casey tron people have been wanting to watch this without necessarily this one i i don't understand
15:37frogan and this one like at least denims is like easy on the eyes what the hell are these two why does
15:44anyone watch these uh because smash eight million people on the planet there are a subset of people
15:51that really enjoys watching people think who destroys themselves live online clever little
15:58title and here's casey tron's she smoked more than she spoke casey tron smokes 42 times during her
16:05reaction and just as a silly thought experiment we thought wouldn't it be funny if she spent more time
16:10smoking than she did talking and thinking there was no way that that could be true well we tallied
16:16them up and lo and behold there's 15 minutes 40 seconds of commentary first 18 minutes and 55 seconds
16:23of smoking wow she spent three minutes and 15 seconds longer smoking and uh i would guess just a
16:30guess i don't see the actual legend was just to express maybe she stopped smoking because she ran out
16:36of smoke from smoking 42 times what is happening i'm trying to follow what what is happening wait aren't
16:45you like not allowed to like do drugs on stream i thought that was against terms of service
16:50uh unless marijuana is like not considered a drug i don't know i haven't read the terms
16:57for that kind of stuff weed is okay okay okay so i've lost the plot the complaint continues indeed
17:06casey tron is often too obliterated to comment on the nuke and instead stares blankly at her computer
17:13screen and a span of two hours and seven minutes casey tron smokes marijuana frequently in highly
17:19concentrated forms through vaporizers on 42 separate occasions at one point casey tron is so wasted
17:26that she states quote what is happening i'm trying to follow but i've lost the plot to give you an
17:31idea the majority of her commentary comes down to this i don't understand this he keeps blurring it out
17:39though which makes me wonder if it is illegal um maybe in youtube are you doing because uh smash
17:49different platforms they they have different rules so maybe in youtube it's not allowed or maybe maybe
17:58even time is just playing it safe you know uh there's nothing wrong in playing it safe
18:04what is happening oh on youtube it's illegal okay there you go i was right see i thought i heard that
18:10i think keemstar was the one saying that i'm trying to follow see smash i was like
18:21oh again different platforms smash different moves is she won up and coming twitch streamer two years in a
18:28row which gives her a front page spot on twitch for a year for each of the two awards so there's
18:35definitely something going on in the back back room with frogan and people in twitch because what
18:40they do musicals they're very musical people are you being serious dog what do you think who watches
18:57this content whoa people who enjoys watching people destroy themselves online i keep going back to the
19:08george carl and the the remember guys remember that there are eight billion people on the planet 50
19:16of the world is dumber than that and then you start to be like oh that's who watches this stuff gotcha
19:29you think a hundred million subscribers this is the part that really got her soon is a lot of people
19:35compared to 80 million people on the planet without supporting ethan clime without necessarily supporting
19:43ethan clime so there are people out there with weird on here with weird fetishes that her intention
19:53of doing this is seeing people with weird likes and dislikes through her is why copyright infringement laws
20:01exist you could not and should not do that especially if your commentary consists of you taking bong
20:07loads at least try to well i was gonna say like i i'm not a court i'm not gonna try and pretend to be
20:17a judge or understand the law at all because i've already been dealing with lawsuits enough but um i don't
20:23necessarily have a huge issue with them saying like oh watch me instead of them because if your content
20:30sucks people aren't gonna watch you what i don't understand is why they're why people would want
20:37to watch them and they suck like that that's what i don't get that's what i keep going back to
20:43like it's almost like the free market should decide i keep thinking about that but then i go back to who
20:51is watching these people and why wouldn't they watch someone that at least provides some sort of insight
20:58some commentary like what what the hell even is this they're barely even having a pulse on these
21:07good point inkling the people who riot are the ones that watch this good point that's why i'm
21:12so out of touch with this who engage with the content well what was that oh sorry that was a flying
21:18star it almost caught me you know her and you love her guys frogan reaction by exiting here she is
21:26getting up to leave the video running as she steps out of the room is that transformative
21:31hmm i guess the judge will decide she said quote it's time to watch the new nuke ethically hell yeah
21:37huh very smart to say on camera by the way she said quote thank you guys so much i do
21:42oh i forgot to check whether my spin is live or not with me well you're welcome and i'm so glad that
21:48you were able to enjoy that day her commentary is so non-existent that even her own fans begin to call her
21:54out i don't have anything to say dude because he's cycling the same points over and over again
21:59what more what more commentary do you need on him repeating the same points for the whole
22:04our first hour and 30 hour hour one minute and 32 seconds it's been the same
22:09over and over again this video could have been condensed into 20 minutes like what what commentary
22:14do you want me to add by like oh this guy's a idiot he's mentally ill and he's having a mental
22:18breakdown and uploaded it to youtube yeah in fact that would be great commentary that's what you're
22:26supposed to be doing okay so just check and yeah the live show is still live point what do you want
22:34me to make a point on oh i forgot she also said can i use the bathroom please i'll leave it playing
22:39you may use the bathroom frogan although i don't advise it can i can i use the bathroom please i'll
22:44leave it playing this into your stomach and let me state the obvious you and apparently thinks which
22:50is liable for me interviewing a yemeni teenager who's only known genocide his entire life but you
22:55just pause it that's it you just thank you inkling appreciate you have a great night pause the video
23:00right like you get up and you go to the bathroom you just pause it they should be watching for you
23:06but if you get up to go to the bathroom and they keep watching my video they're clearly not watching
23:10for you right as lazy and pathetic as her reaction is this is not why she's getting sued this is thank
23:16you guys so much i do appreciate everyone's support and thank you for watching it with me
23:20first time viewer time to watch the nuke nuke ethically hell yeah i found my way from reddit hi
23:26guys welcome reddit people ready people ready people i came from the issues reddit people
23:32if reddit people are your audience yikes
23:40start credit ethan is so pathetic while his son is in japan i'm father having a great time exactly
23:44we're gonna watch it live yes he doesn't want people to know when it's dropping because what
23:49the fuck's going on with her makeup right now what do you uh she has this uh blush on event something
23:56like that what is happening here maybe whenever she reaches some kind of goal he has a uh blush on
24:04we're all watching come on come on smash she does blush layers as come on smash and that is not hard
24:12to show you know what do you call this uh the juice that's not hard to the cheese the stated malicious
24:20intent to steal they talk about watching ethically but i learned not to steal when i was five up next
24:26is denims and honestly just take a look at this guys it's a nightmare on denim street not only did
24:34she chair react but she was kind enough to write her name right at the top just so that we knew that
24:39she was stealing my content and it was her room and nobody else's judge did you know that we're on
24:43denim street right now here's some quotes from denims we're relying on you to stay live so we don't have
24:48to give the nuke views yeah i'm gonna stream it since he's confirmed it's coming out today i'm gonna
24:54stream it that is very explicit denim said quote well guys if you enjoyed not giving any views to
25:01that terrible video give me a follow subscribe throw a prime if you like my content your content
25:09the queen of self-owned i do wonder just legality like i understand where ethan's coming from here
25:15but i almost feel like and i hate to take their side but i almost feel like they could take a a point of
25:22like this is what i do this is my this is my brand this is how people this is i think i think smash
25:30smash is missing the malicious intent they come here to watch they're doing because it's part for that
25:38particular video they they did it theoretically i could see with malice yeah smash is totally missing
25:45missing missing missing the part uh missing the part about um you know doing it with malice
25:58their chairs don't have eyes good point because they clearly said that uh they're taking away
26:03views from the original creator and uh one included a countdown time so we could they're doing this in
26:12bad faith after being gone for a few minutes it's very similar to it's silently reacting or hate
26:19watching i'm gonna go pee and hopefully which is done uh when i'm back in bad faith oh no i agree by
26:26the way uh lbc i'm not trying to say like ethan's wrong uh because i'm 100 on his side with this
26:34but i'm just saying i like to try to see to i try to think about it from both sides like what are
26:40they going to come back with in the court what are they going to fight back with um no for denim's
26:45her legal defense is the content is her cleavage he has a very strong uh argument but that is why
26:56you know i like watching back so i'm listening to a lawyer's reaction to things like this exactly
27:04that's what i'm saying because a layman's a layman's opinion or or an actual lawyer's opinion
27:19weighs more than a layman's opinion watch it with someone else who's already watching i'm not saying
27:25that a layman's opinion is uh doesn't have to be faith because in the end it's all opinions you
27:33enjoyed uh and giving any view and an opinion is either right or wrong subscribe throw a prime
27:40that's why everyone has fun you enjoyed your time here because i'm going to be honest i did not want
27:44to watch that by myself let me also commercialize it by asking you to review we're very happily married
27:51dark sis very happily married i'm married but as i always say i'm married i'm not dead
27:57i can i can uh commentate and notice things all right for me financially for stealing his content
28:05that is like chef kiss by the way denims had a very successful stream she had 43 000 people watch holy
28:13shit 43 000 people watching a reaction of ethan holy shit watching her live take a look at the
28:26title of her twitch stream ethan klein hassan content nuke watch party a watch party i don't think that
28:32max k she definitely would but she'd also roll her eyes at me while i said it but yes she'd agree
28:38that's fair use now denims of course always delivering the goods she went on this dude's
28:46podcast to debate fair use and would you be surprised if i told you she said a lot of
28:51incriminating things in that podcast the queen of cell phone never disappoints i want to be clear on
28:57my opinion on like filler content and stuff like i think filler content like you shouldn't do it i know
29:01i do it as a react stream and i try to do it only when i do it with like vox videos or vice videos and
29:06stuff like that because at least i'm not like directly ripping from one content creator and
29:10not like a whole team and stuff and most of those videos have like five million views so the lawyer
29:15who watched this and reacted to this it's a lot harder to feel like i guess bad implied explicitly
29:21implied a single content creator does that make sense that uh what she's saying you know i'm sure
29:29if you click on a random part in the video i might not be saying anything sure whatever and i might now
29:33let's see how uh smash is going to uh we have to watch uh um it's not about the actual what she's
29:40saying it's the same reason you watch shows with your friends you want to watch it with other people
29:45a lot of people again the lawyer streamers on twitch for their react content almost as a curator so they
29:50don't actually want the entire thing that uh she's saying is stupid for the lawyer never will go
29:56through youtube and click a bunch of videos they like going to twitch because they like to have it as like
30:00this stream there was no justification there was no arguing from the people that talk to the people
30:05who watch twitch content are specifically there to watch it so they don't because scroll through youtube
30:10and find a video they like if what she was doing was if someone watches content and you know someone
30:15on copyright infringement there is a very low likelihood that they're going to go watch it
30:19separately regardless of how she describes it content or how she defends it on twitch
30:26aren't necessarily people that would be watching content on youtube that my friend is um called
30:31theft and you're a thief and now i'm suing you this is just a testimony to how brazen and how safe they've
30:39you know gotten that she thinks she can go on out it's a good point in public on video and say like
30:47i'm stealing this content because i want to i'm coping even though i know it's stealing um when people
30:53watch it with me they're definitely not going to go watch the original like you are way too
30:57comfortable committing crimes out in the open well there you have it three separate lawsuits for three
31:03separate geniuses now i want to make it clear again i hope it's been obvious about why i'm suing
31:10these three people and not others these people not only violated all the principles of fair use
31:16they also did it maliciously and that's the part that really got me i think if you're a reactor
31:23on twitch for the most part if you make a good faith effort to comment and if you make a good
31:28faith effort to promote the author to link to them to try to drive traffic to the original video
31:34according to the pretty much the right thing and that's fine and i would never sue what's important
31:40is the transformative absolute morons to state their intention to steal my property on video
31:46you know and to all the detractors who are saying that i'm targeting women
31:50that i'm a hypocrite for suing for copyright infringement i just have this to say
31:58i don't care what i do hope though is that you'll support their crowdfunding efforts to defend
32:02themselves because let's face it i want to make sure there's money left over for me when i win my
32:07lawsuits thanks for watching everybody it's been a great time i'll see you around oh that was that
32:16was a banger ending right there yeah that was that was good how he he okay so that was uh smash jd's
32:29reaction if uh i guess i guess it's his reaction he was reacting to it so that was his reaction and uh
32:41he did express uh some opinions especially with the part where he totally missed the the malicious intent
32:50but still it's still it's an opinion and it's a reaction so if you guys want to watch the uh
32:59entire video without me talking over it just go to smash jd's channel and you'll find the video right there
