LegalEagle and Wendover Productions actually beat them to the punch (Nebula) on this. They filed on 29th December 2024, a whole 4 days earlier.
And since the US courts charge money to get these documents, I downloaded a copy of the complaint earlier on my PACER account so anyone who's interested can read it without incurring the stupid fees. Enjoy
Edit: Devin Stone (the host of LegalEagle) is actually a lawyer on this case. His name and his law firm are listed as a lawyer for the plaintiff on the complaint.
In GN's video the law firm mentioned there are 3-4 cases already and they are probably getting combined or go to the same judge. (IANAL; IDK the specifics)
Precisely.
Tthey said that they started work on it and by the time they submitted it, they found out that others had already done the same (of course they wouldn't have known this when they started the legwork), but that ultimately that doesn't matter because if it goes class-action – which is their desired path of action – the cases will be combined anyway.
If anything it's beneficial that multiple people took this up, it should make class-action more likely.
Exactly. It takes weeks and perhaps longer to put together a case, so the fact that they're within a few days of each other is pretty remarkable and implies they have a pretty good case. Hopefully they can combine notes and really take Honey to the cleaners.
Oh well. I must confess though, watching a 1.5 hour video to make sure I didn't say something they already said didn't seem like an appealing proposition to me.
Jesus, spelling mistake in the first sentence of the complaint. Fire the legal aide.
What's the spelling mistake? I didn't see it.
Should probably be "creators"
I see. That's not technically the first sentence though. I stopped looking once I got to line 6.
Page 2, line 8: "Plaintiffs are content created..."
Presumably it should be content creators, not created
