I'm on the fence here.
If this were a copyright infringement case, fair enough. But this lawsuit apparently is over one company's decision to give something away for free, and another company upset because it allegedly damaged the paid sales of their similar product offering.
This is like Match.com suing PlentyOfFish.com for being free and thus hurting their sales.
I looked at a few pages of videos in niches I am familiar with, and they all seem to be sponsor promos with a banner below or to the right, watermarked vids (uploaded by sponsors?) or very old content that could have been licensed on the cheap (the type of garbage you see in "500 hours of video for $99!" deals).
But I think this quote is very telling; "Cammarata has faced a substantial loss of customers and revenue, leading him to sell his business at an unfavorable price."
Sounds like a cash grab in a final gasp of air to me.
