The Kleins revealed they won the lawsuit the following year, as confirmed by the BBC.Įthan and Hila called out two of the biggest gaming YouTubers in July 2016. In the video, Ethan and Hila explained that they would be putting the funds raised into a "Fair Use Protection Account" (FUPA), to help finance small creators who needed legal defense for a fair-use lawsuit.
Responding to the fund and people's "overwhelming support," Ethan and Hila uploaded a video entitled " A New Chapter for Fair Use on YouTube." Video-game designer Garry Newman also donated to the fund. Ultimately, $170,765 was raised for their "defense fund" and various YouTubers including Daniel "Keemstar" Keem and LeafyisHere donated. In response to this, YouTube star Phillip De Franco created a donation fund on GoFundMe to help the Kleins with their legal costs.
Two weeks after their drama with LeafyisHere, H3H3Productions posted a video entitled "We're Being Sued," in which Klein said that they were being sued by fellow YouTuber Matt Hosseinzadeh based on the allegation that their reaction video involving him violated US copyright law, as they used clips of his content.
When h3h3 Productions said they were getting sued by Matt Hosseinzadeh, Phillip DeFranco made a GoFundMe to support them.
