  1. "Evan Andersen"? Is that not a joke name - a play on "even-handed"? Does Evan even exist? Does he have an office? Does he have a licence to practice law? Or is he Trevor's alter-ego?

  6. In a video titled "SpaceX busted" - every word is criticism. It doesn't matter who laughed at the crash, as TF did not claim Mahlmann laughed. TF makes two comments on the clip, one before "these idiots laughing" and one after - the sarcastic comment.

  8.  @MasonPelt  said "factors that can make something fair use include commentary and criticism. But you have to be criticizing the material you are arguing is fair use." That's a lot of words, let's make it clearer. "fair use include (s) commentary and criticism. But you have to be criticizing" Now, can you spot the fatal flaw in your "foundational understanding of copyright law"? [edit for corrections]

  10. If he was going with it, he'd do the DCMA (?) take-down thing, not the illegal demands-with-menaces thing.

  11. He dealt with that. Maybe you should watch the video before commenting on it.

  12.  @ryanbrooker464  You're the second bait and switch merchant I've had the displeasure of meeting tonight.
