This is the simple truth. Lawyers cost money. Even if Rob had a decent case, he'd need Spooky's details to sue him directly. I don't know how sending a C&D to a Peertube site would work since it's an open-source decentralized platform.

And then he'd need money to hire a lawyer, cuz no lawyer will do this pro bono.

There are ways to get spooky's info, courts can demand that the company he bought the domain from disclose his info for example I think

but all of it takes lawyers

Yeah, I should've led with "he'd need lawyers to do all this" rather than put it as the second statement.

And if he got Spooky's deets via doxing or something, that would most likely be considered inadmissible in court, even ina civil case.

Well, depending on if Spooky put it out in the open or if it was obtained malignantly or deceptively.

Even then, if Rob had access to all this, best case scenario, he gets the site shut down. He'd receive very little - if anything - in compensatory damages.

it is literally not worth doing

both time and the fact that all it will do is cause both Rob and Spooky to be left with less money

Oh I agree 100%

But it might be funny if it happens, Spooky shows up in court looking like Johnny Depp, Rob shows up in the Monica wig dressed like Amber Heard

froggy depp

Id also win

In the hypothetical reality he did care enough

If he asked me to take them down, I'd at least hear him out

Same if he wanted the domain

Spooky is a nice guy like that.

I’m curious because I’m not familiar with law what makes you so sure you’d win spooky

I'll skip over the logistical hurdles, which would be impossible in their own right to overcome

He has no ownership or copyright over anything he's uploaded, none whatsoever

The Escapist owns the original Urealms cartoon, so they could request that I take them down

but even that would be murky, since they do not protect that IP in any way

and actually, the copies I uploaded were not even theirs to begin with

so I take that back, might not apply

oh man, I found something cool

I have a stream with Twitch baked-in corruption

really cool video glitches

I'll link it later when it transcodes

Interesting

I mean, tell me if I'm missing something on the copyright part

we looked it up in the Canadian registry, Rob has zero filings

If I recall correctly, you do get some natural level of ownership of things you make even without registering, its just next to impossible to get damages if you did not even bother registering copyright

There’s usually a fee involved in registering though which knowing rob that’s prolly why he didn’t bother

Or at least part of it

He had no reason to

I don't blame Rob, he shouldn't have bothered

he made stupid internet videos

he could have just.... left his own videos up

Maybe if he was planning on selling physical copies of Urealms live

on actual platforms, he could probably still get stuff taken down for impersonation or art rights though

if chinese knock-offs did appear

why would he anyways

he literally said himself that it was fine so he'd just be admitting he's a hypocrite

plus hes clearly got more important shit going on than someone else hosting his videos on a website other than youtube lol

only the most diehard rob fan / hater even knows about the website

Yeah, we were just discussing the hypothetical of him doing it

if he found the website and also decided it wasnt okay and then decided to pursue legal action the worst they could do is force a shutdown of the site

nobodys making money off of it and generally to get money out of something you have to prove that the person suffered damages

he has 0 case for proving that he has suffered damages as a result especially since he took down his own videos

He has found the site btw

we know he knows about it

he's talked about it

is he mad

yes

lol where are the messages

or was it on stream

There are a ton of screencaps of him talking about it

I'd have to dig for them

dang

He legitimately thought spooky would go bankrupt from running the site

^

He thought it cost like 500 a month

I think DaniDip assumed I was paying for some VPS instance (like he probably does)

Here's a VOD you and I watched 4 years ago

oH SHIT THIS ONE

Caps

I was so scared this was the one that got corrupted by Twitch

first random timestamp I liked

The only thing i hate aboht peertube is how it doesnt save my place on videos on mobile

So i get lost trying to watch url or long vods

yeah, I think most of that is cookie based, no idea if it syncs if you log in or not

Yeah havent tried being logged in but man does it lose my session quick

ok yeah, it does sync if you're logged in

no idea if that issues a keepalive to brower cookies though

I'd assume it would, be weird if it logged you out constantly

Ill try
