If he were to put in reasonable effort into gaining the requisite number of views, and were to fall short of the goal, couldn't the same argument be made that acquiring 200,000 video views is not within his capabilities?
- codingdave 11y agoArgue whatever you want - it is out of the courts at this point. It is purely a civil matter between him and the companies. The article specifically stated that the number was thrown out there to give him the incentive to cooperate. So there is no guarantee they would sue if he fails, no guarantee they would win if they sued, and they already admit he cannot pay even if they do sue and win.
