Barstool built an empire by swiping sports highlights
- colpabar 3y agoSo it sucks that they stole a comedian's content and seemingly kinda went after her. But are we supposed to feel bad for the NFL or fox/cbs/nbc/etc here?
- overcast 3y agoIrrelevant what anyone thinks about those companies. It's still theft.
- worstestes 3y agoif they can do it to the big players what's stopping them from doing the same to the little guys?
- king_magic 3y agoThe guy behind it is a pretty clear fraud. Just look at his absurd watch company.
- silisili 3y agoOh goodness. I've always thought he was a tool so never really followed his doings. Just visited his watch company and saw this beauty... > A watch for people like myself who can afford a Rolex but don’t need a status symbol on their wrist to do their talking for them. So a cheaper watch, but one meant for rich people? Isn't that by definition a status symbol? Is he delusional or just surrounded by yes men?

- quickthrowman 3y agoBut wait, there’s more! You can also get a three-hander with a $50 automatic movement for just $2,400.
- ypeterholmes 3y agoReposting from burner accounts is illegal, but also kinda smart. This is hustle culture in a nutshell, and Trump is their messiah.
- pseudo0 3y agoThis seems like a natural consequence of the busted DMCA strike system. Even with legitimately transformative content, a big account risks a strike, days or weeks stuck in appeals, and no recourse against the entity filing a bogus DMCA. Effectively the process is the punishment when an entity like Barstool relies on their social media accounts to function as a business. If someone really wants to take Barstool to court, they can still do that, but by using burners they can't flag down their main accounts for leverage.
