Tardigrade lawsuit appealed

Status
Not open for further replies.
Now that he's going to be receiving cash from his involvement in this whole thing, if I were him I'd be keeping a really low profile.
Especially if the folks who's music he "borrowed" find out.
(or any of the other bit and pieces he's used)
He may find himself caught up in another lawsuit...,
... playing the Defendant.
 
Not unexpectedly, I see people writing on social media that Ketwolski is really "grasping at straws" and that they've officially unsubbed him.

Thing is, if Midnight's Edge had made the video that Ketwolski just made, but it was CBS stealing more ideas from Anas rather than Anas lifting from Dune, etc., the same people would no doubt be crying foul at CBS.

There's no winning.
 
You know, I can't get over the fact how fishy that entire gofundme thing is. Like, 1k per hour for his lawyer?! I tried to find out average hourly rates for lawyers, which isn't easy since there are a lot of factors like location, work experience, prestige/demand, and specialization and while I found hourly rates of 1000$ per hour it was for

Specialized lawyers with a lot of expertise in a specific area of law, such as patent or intellectual property law, could charge $500-$1,000 per hour.

And I'm like ... that's the rate for a lawyer of the highest caliber, how are they justifying that rate for the lawyer who had to redo his filings more than once?I

(And don't get me started on the costs for "network experts" and "marketing".)

that is just sad. He backed up everything he stated.
 
Abdin says so, right on his blog. He was talked into it by Nerdrotic, who will be managing all the money raised via GoFundMe.
This is par for the course in these kind of reactionary fan communities. Anyone who was familiar with ComicsGate will recognize the pattern.

These are aging nerds, and what entertainment they don't get from new franchise material (Marvel/Star Wars/Star Trek) they get through their bitterness, much of it stoked by YouTube channels. Then comes the grift: "You can fight these corporate bastards by giving money to some pee wee who they are picking on!" The fans, of course, think THEY are the pee wees, so handing over their money to a lost cause IGG becomes their catharsis.

This is also the sort of ongoing drama that the YTs need to keep generating clickbait videos. If the "tardigrades" thing ever goes away, they need to find a new lolcow to exploit. Keeping Anas in court is actually part of their business model, similar to the Waid/Meyers drama over in ComicsGate world.
 
... isn't GoFundMe the one where the people setting the thing up can keep the money even if the fundraising goal isn't met?
Yep! Anas doesn't even have to use it for an appeal, either.

I wonder what Nerdrotic's cut is?

Also, if Anas was running the IGG himself, do you think Nerdrotic, ME, etc, would promote it as heavily?

I'm not sure that they are keeping it going other than to avoid admitting they backed the wrong horse. The axis of stupidity (Dumbcock, Nerdrotic and the like) have always been willing to rally their fans and claim victory whenever possible. Hell, they believe that they have effectively kicked Kurtman off the production (he's been promoted away from the show, y'know!).
 
Oh, let me also verify: these "Fandom Menace" types shriek like stuck pigs at the moment you push back on them even a little. Here's a tweet from ME cohort "MechaRandom" that she sent just before blocking me. (I guess I'm the "bully" she is referring to.)

they see it as an opportunity for clicks and money.

Only the appeal fails they will rail in about how cbs only won because they have deep pockets kick Abdin aside and find another avenue to attack cbs.

No no, they backed the RIGHT horse! It doesn't matter if Anas wins or loses, if there are merits to his case or not. He is a cause celebre that they have successfully marketed and monetized. He is their mascot! They can't let him go.
