    Bloomberg has 10 days to file for lawsuit against Gamers Nexus. If they do, the take down stands, and it’s a strike until Gamers Nexus may win the case. Which will be expensive. 3 strikes and YouTube closes the channel with near zero option for appeal.

    Gamers Nexus cannot manage if a big company like Bloomberg goes all in. They can easily bankrupt a small channel like Gamers Nexus with frivolous lawsuits. And if you are bankrupt, you can’t defend yourself.

    The US judicial system is heavily tilted towards those that have more money.

      “small.”

      Make no mistake. Gamers Nexus is a multi million dollar company.

      Sure, Bloomberg is much, much bigger. But while gamers Nexus is the underdog, it’s not the toothless underdog. That little fucker will bite in bloomberg’s ankles before it dies and tbf: it looks like it’s already yapping and took it’s first bite.

      But it’s only one of 3 strikes.
      And I am sure it can even expire at some point.
      So what’s the matter?

        Since YouTube also count frivolous claims, you can get 3 strikes in no time.
        How many take down claims have been put against them already? How many did they successfully resolve?
        IDK, and if you don’t either, you are making an argument from ignorance.

        But as I mentioned, there is basically no defense against 3 frivolous strikes. It will close the channel, no matter how much the channel can prove it’s innocence.
        Unless of course it’s a mega corp, they have different rules, because they are big and google makes money from them, and they have big lawyer teams.
